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, strategic struggle to manage resources and build a base while leading a squad through a post-apocalyptic world.

What players say

Players are overwhelmingly angry at the developers, who they say took crowdfunding money and then abandoned the game without delivering on promises. A few do enjoy the Dead State-like survival and base building loop, but most warn that the game has seen no updates in years and remains a buggy, unfinished shell.
