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

Trapped in an endless, liminal labyrinth of yellowed corridors and flickering lights, you creep forward with a constant sense of unseen threat.

What players say

Players are split on this backrooms game. Some praise its atmosphere and liminal spaces, while others find it boring, linear, and more maze than exploration. The short 40-minute length, loud ambient sound, and poor monster AI are common complaints. The developer responds to feedback.
