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 lonely, anxious drive through a broken forest world, where the thick haze and constant threat of demons create a dreamlike but desperate struggle to survive.

What players say

Players love the weird, dreamlike story and atmosphere but warn about frequent bugs and softlocks, especially in coop. The combat is weak, and the game can brick progress if items are used wrong. It is best enjoyed with a friend and overlooks its jank for a memorable experience.
