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 chaotic and silly multiplayer free-for-all where you scream or sound like a train horn to throw opponents into the void, with physics-driven office props and tense hide-and-seek flashlight gameplay.

What players say

Players are split: some enjoy the silly fun of screaming into a microphone to move and attack, but most say the multiplayer is dead and there is no meaningful single-player content. Many also complain about repetitive gameplay, a pushy cash shop, and poor performance.
