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 bleak, high-tension survival shooter where every step through a contaminated wasteland risks hunger, thirst, and lethal encounters.

What players say

Players compare it to a cheap S.T.A.L.K.E.R. clone, with many praising the atmosphere but criticizing the broken saves, empty locations, and scarce ammo. Opinions split on whether the game is worth its price, with some calling it a charming rough build and others saying it is too buggy to play.
