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

A tense survival scavenging journey where you slowly upgrade your gear and shelter while struggling against lurking dangers in a deceptively peaceful world.

What players say

Players praise the low-stakes PvE extraction shooter with ducks as a solo-friendly alternative to Escape from Tarkov, but the experience is marred by controversy: the developers ignored malicious mods and backtracked on multiplayer promises. Solo play is praised, yet missing controller support, forced TAA blur, and a grindy late game divide players.
