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

You explore a desolate, surreal afterlife as a reanimated skeleton or corpse, building bases and fighting other players in a vast, open world.

What players say

Players praise the eerie atmosphere and unique world but are sharply divided on the technical state. Many say the game is a laggy, buggy walking sim with dead servers and a cash shop, while others find its weirdness and charm worth enduring the jank.
