The catalog in 3D
The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.
How it feels
You carefully balance gathering resources and building a civilization while monitoring the health of a living ecosystem that reacts to your every decision.

What players say
Players describe Eco as a unique and complex survival game where cooperation, trade, and politics are central, but many are frustrated by a clunky user interface, long load times, and paid cosmetics in an early-access title. Long-time players say major changes have made the game worse, and the small player base is a concern.
