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 frantic free-for-all where players scramble to survive or fight amid a cascade of containment failures and monstrous threats.

What players say

Players love the free-to-play SCP multiplayer but warn that age is part of the deal: new players face a steep learning curve and can run into unwelcoming veterans on both official and community servers. There is a persistent connection bug that locks some players out, and performance can be rough on low-end hardware.
