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 and up to five friends stalk supernatural threats through dark environments, identifying and eliminating creatures while balancing cooperative hunting with occasional player-versus-player betrayal.

What players say

Players praise the variety of creatures and exorcisms, plus no photo or stamina mechanics, but the game is janky, poorly optimized, and has a dead multiplayer community.
