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 fast-paced endurance test where you race against time to complete unpredictable tasks under pressure.

What players say

Players describe STAY as a fast-paced multi-tasking challenge where you juggle random tasks under time pressure. Some find the mouse input finicky, with mazes and dice puzzles not registering clicks reliably, and the game over screen is needlessly long. A crash after hours of play was reported. Reviews are split: most enjoy the difficulty, while a few call it unfair for the survival mode.
