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 and up to three friends navigate disorienting, non-euclidean spaces, solving puzzles and facing psychological horror together.

What players say

Players are split on Backrooms Descent. Some have fun screaming through it with friends and enjoy the puzzles, while many others say the audio is poorly balanced, batteries are too scarce for a dark game, and the movement feels clunky. Complaints about specific late levels like 94 are common, and several reviews call the game an unfinished mess that needs significant polishing.
