The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

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 struggle against freezing cold and scarce resources in a desolate winter landscape, with a constant sense of isolation and threat from both nature and unknown dangers.

What players say

Players are split: some praise the atmosphere and the northern lights, but many more call it a walking simulator with a barren map and little to do beyond trekking end to end. The bear enemy is widely mocked because it kills the player in a single hit, making survival feel broken.
