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

You scavenge and craft through a frozen, randomly generated wasteland, constantly evading hostile aliens and rival survivors while repairing your transport.

What players say

Players describe Frozen State as an ambitious but unfinished survival game with a tense atmosphere that was abandoned by its developers. Combat is widely criticized for clunky, unresponsive controls and an inability to dodge, while the difficulty often feels unfair and tied to random loot rather than skill.
