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 fast-paced, combat-heavy survival horror game where every encounter demands quick reflexes and resource management.

What players say

Players say Necrosis is a janky co-op survival horror that channels classic Resident Evil, with lots of content and a very active developer who updates constantly. It is challenging to the point of frustration, and the puzzles can be repetitive, but co-op teamwork and character synergies keep it fun.
