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 slow, tactical survival game where each turn-based decision carves your path through a doomed world, heavy with lore and consequence.

What players say

Players widely warn that the studio disbanded and the game was abandoned at launch. While some see potential in its turn-based combat and randomized wheel modifiers, most say the three-hour campaign offers little replay value and feels like an overpriced alpha build.
