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 tense, cooperative stealth horror game where players explore eerie abandoned locations while trying to survive and uncover dark secrets.

What players say

Players consistently praise the cooperative horror experience, especially the atmosphere and fun with friends, but many note clunky controls and a monster that reacts too predictably to sounds. Opinions split on difficulty: some find it too easy to kite the monster, others call it painfully hard on higher difficulties. Long-time players say content is limited and updates are infrequent.
