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 calm, meditative exploration through eerie and surreal flooded spaces, with light puzzling and a slowly unfolding mystery.

What players say

Players are split, some find it a genuinely creepy and well-designed Backrooms game with good atmosphere and graphics, while others criticize the developer for removing content and leaving the game in a barebones state for months. Complaints include a lack of settings, short length, cheap deaths that reset progress, and a puzzle with no clues.
