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 casual multiplayer roleplaying game where you and friends investigate a murder with light social deduction and low-stakes tension.

What players say

Players enjoy it as a lighthearted social deduction game for groups, often comparing it to Gmod Murder or Among Us in 3D. The single developer has been responsive, but the UI and combat are rough, and many say it needs more content to justify the price in early access.
