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, narrative-driven survival RPG where player decisions shape the struggle to lead a group through a frozen, unforgiving wasteland.

What players say

Players call it a narrative-driven choose-your-own-adventure with light survival and a deckbuilder-like combat system. The story hooks players, but many say it is too short, finishing multiple runs in 16 hours. Some complain about the lack of key remapping and limited inventory, and a few note unnecessary changes in this remastered edition.
