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 cathartic, high-energy power fantasy where you smash and blast your way through creepy liminal spaces, turning the tables on the monsters with over-the-top weaponry.

What players say

Players say Backrooms Break is a short experience, beaten in 2-5 hours, held back by poor optimization and a lack of multiplayer. Creative touches like shooting monster claws for high damage are noted, but progress can be frustrating due to random healing items and elevator defense segments.
