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

Players work together with makeshift equipment to identify and neutralize ghosts in a tense, atmospheric investigation.

What players say

Players split on whether this is a fresh take or a confused mix of ghost hunting and shooter. The combat was unique to the genre, each phantom had distinct attack patterns, and matches felt fast. But development officially ended in early access, matchmaking barely worked, and solo play was frustrating.
