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, claustrophobic crawl through dark sewers where you rely on candlelight to navigate and evade lurking threats.

What players say

Players are split on The Cesspit. Many praise the graphics, sound, and monster designs but are frustrated by a punishing save system that relies on scarce ink cartridges, especially in early sections. The stamina mechanic forces players into lockers, and some find the difficulty more reliant on luck than skill.
