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, atmospheric cooperative horror game where you navigate procedurally generated eerie levels, scavenge resources, and document findings while avoiding unknown threats.

What players say

Players find this Backrooms game more than a walking sim, with engaging expeditions and scary entities that can fight back. Some wish for more language support. Crafting is light but useful for map completion.
