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 survival sandbox where strategic gunplay and map control feel tense and punishing, with a raw, community-refined edge.

What players say

Players love the PvP, building, and exploration but are frustrated that the developers stopped updating it. Many say the community is incredibly toxic with griefers driving away new players, and some old-timers feel the 2.0 patch ruined what they had.
