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 multiplayer game where paranoia and fear of betrayal mix with stealth and teamwork as you try to survive and escape a shapeshifting monster.

What players say

Players compare it to Among Us or Trouble in Terrorist Town but set in the Backrooms, and say it is fun in short bursts with friends. However, they consistently ask for more maps, dedicated servers, mod support, and adjustable server settings like spawn timers and monster count.
