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, atmospheric folk-horror adventure where you and your friends explore eerie post-Soviet landscapes to brew a magical potion before monstrous forces overrun your village.

What players say

Players describe a cooperative horror game with a slavic folklore theme, but opinions are split on quality. Many enjoy the setting and humor with friends, while others criticize the use of generative AI, a lack of tutorial, and a design that pushes toward speedrunning rather than atmosphere. Performance issues and a steep difficulty curve are common complaints.
