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 straightforward action-adventure game still in development with a modest, neutral feel.

What players say

Players are split on Storebound. Some praise its co-op puzzle horror, unsettling story, and tense atmosphere, calling it a great experience with friends. Others criticize performance issues, repetitive gameplay, softlock bugs, and a lack of replay value. The nemesis monster AI is inconsistent, the radio feels useless, and the playtime is around 3-4 hours for early chapters.
