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 survival horror where you scramble to gather resources and craft gear while uncovering a grim truth aboard a derelict ship.

What players say

Players praise the space horror aesthetic and scary monster designs but report frustrating performance issues, confusing interfaces, and a lack of guidance early on. Crafting and inventory management feel clunky, and some say development has stalled with too few updates.
