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 quick, deceptive game of cat and mouse where you sneakily complete outlaw tasks while blending in, or hunt for clues to catch the imposter before making a fatal mistake.

What players say

Players say the lobby and UI are confusing and buggy, with a forced tutorial. Movement feels slow, and as the Sheriff you have few clues and are highlighted to all, making it easy to avoid you. Some still enjoy it as a silly party game.
