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 low-poly survival game where you scavenge and build across dynamic islands under shifting weather and a persistent zombie threat.

What players say

Players are split on Grimtale Island: some praise the developer's dedication and frequent updates, while others call it an abandoned, unfinished asset flip. The game has good graphics but janky mechanics, a broken story, and performance issues.
