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 multiplayer game where friends turn into foes, blending paranoia with darkly comedic betrayals in a space setting.

What players say

Players praise the silly co-op campaign and comedic voiceover, but nearly all warn the multiplayer is dead. The game is free-to-play fun with friends, yet development seems abandoned since the player count dropped.
