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 frantic and darkly funny dungeon crawl where you die repeatedly, lose body parts, and reanimate as a skeleton while grappling with necromantic magic in cooperative mayhem.

What players say

Players love the absurd skeleton mechanics, especially throwing their own bones, but the game is held back by frequent game-breaking bugs and crashes that make runs unplayable, especially in multiplayer. The dark fantasy lore and art style are praised, while opinions split on the controls and progression.
