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

You cautiously creep through dimly lit rooms, relying on flickering equipment and your teammates' voices as each ghost type keeps the tension unpredictable.

What players say

Players are overwhelmingly frustrated with the game's state after years of Early Access. Recent updates introduced countless bugs and awkward animations, and many feel development has stalled while the studio pursues other projects. Veterans with hundreds of hours say the core concept is great but the execution is now broken.
