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

You move through a maze of eerie, dim corridors with a shaky bodycam perspective, always expecting something wrong around the next corner.

What players say

Players say it is a speedrun-focused backrooms game where you memorize a layout, find an anomaly, and race back to the start. The experience is short, with only four or five levels, and the sprinting feels slippery on ice. Reviews split on whether the repetition is a fun challenge or a boring grind.
