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 co-op puzzle escape through a creepy house where you rely on teammates while dodging lurking residents and jump scares.

What players say

Players are split: some call it a hilarious time with friends, others warn it is not even fun as a joke. The game is very short and figuring out the first room takes up most of the playtime.
