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 frantic, screen-peeking local-multiplayer scramble where you're constantly dodging suspicion and racing against others in short, high-stakes rounds.

What players say

Players describe a local multiplayer party game built on hidden identity and deception, comparing it to Hidden In Plain Sight. The mini-games take practice to appreciate, the main menu is confusing, and it requires friends in the room to play.
