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 relaxing and open-ended sandbox where you gather resources, build a base, and explore at your own pace.

What players say

Players are split: many find the early game addictive, but nearly everyone agrees the developer abandoned it in a buggy state. Save file loss, crashes at launch or in menus, and a tedious endgame grind are common complaints.
