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 and suspicious multiplayer experience where you navigate dark sci-fi corridors, never sure which of your teammates has been contaminated.

What players say

Players say SurvHive nails the paranoia of John Carpenter's The Thing, but its multiplayer-only design leaves the servers empty. Reviewers warn the game is effectively dead, with no bots or solo content, and matchmaking relies on the Discord server. Community is tiny, so buying requires bringing friends or hoping for a revival.
