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 co-op horror experience where you and friends navigate procedurally generated liminal levels, solving puzzles and evading entities with only proximity voice chat as your lifeline.

What players say

Players praise the co-op horror experience and say it shines with friends, but many are frustrated by broken cross-play, short length, and tedious levels that need more checkpoints. The Purgatory difficulty mode is popular for raising the scare factor and requiring tight team coordination.
