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 cooperative survival game where you and strangers must gather resources by day and defend against nightly monster attacks in a mystical forest.

What players say

Players praise the cooperative social dynamics and roleplay potential but are split on the punishing stamina system that forces long waits with short bursts of action. Multiple reviewers warn the game is abandoned and the servers are dead, making it unplayable.
