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, playful co-op romp through wildly shifting sci-fi and fantasy worlds, demanding constant teamwork and quick adaptation.

What players say

Players are split on Split Fiction. Many praise its visuals, fluid movement, and creative set-piece moments, especially in the final act. Others find the gameplay repetitive, with minimal meaningful teamwork, and the story clichéd with a weak villain. It is often compared to It Takes Two, with some preferring it and others finding it a step down. The game is on the shorter side.
