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.

What players say

Players are split on Malpractice. Some enjoy the creepy atmosphere and co-op puzzles, but many report bugs that break progression, like items falling through the map, monsters attacking through walls, and inconsistent monster behaviors. The lack of checkpoints and poorly explained puzzles frustrate several reviewers, while others find the game fun with friends.
