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 minimalist automated grind focused on unlocking achievements rather than engaging gameplay.

What players say

Players use Eternal Man: Forest almost exclusively to unlock 5,000 achievements, many by just launching the game and waiting. A few call it a bare-bones platformer, while others say it is not a real game or feels incomplete. Sentiment is split between recommending it for achievement hunters and calling it bad.
