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, unforgiving struggle for survival where every sunset raises the stakes and you must scavenge, build, and craft to endure the night.

What players say

Players finish the main quest in about four hours on normal mode, and many say the game needs more content. The core loop is finding six journal pages on an island while an invulnerable demon pursues you at night. There is no compass and no way to rebind keys, which frustrates some players.
