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 short incremental game that slowly builds unease as you manage a space station prison evacuation amidst alien horror.

What players say

Players love Xenosensory for its quick, addictive loops and atmospheric style from developer caiys, but many note it becomes repetitive and bland after just two to three hours. The game has a huge skill tree and a defined ending with no prestige mechanic, though some find the skill tree too dense to matter and the screen too chaotic by the middle.
