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 play as a streamer in a haunted school where trust is a weapon and paranoia is your only ally, as demonic possession turns friends into unknowing threats.

What players say

Players warn the game is effectively unplayable without a full group of eight because lobbies are empty and matchmaking is missing. Those who manage to gather friends enjoy the horror social deduction mix, but the rest are stuck waiting or asking for refunds.
