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 calm survival game focused on building and customizing an island, exploring a regenerating world, and managing resources at a relaxed pace.

What players say

Players praise this as a rare peaceful survival game with no combat and beautiful scenery. The core loop of building, farming, and exploring is well liked, but there are mixed feelings about the lack of guidance: some enjoy the freedom while many others find it frustratingly vague, especially around basic mechanics like mining large stones.
