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, darkly funny co-op scramble where a simple construction job spirals into a panicked fight to contain something that refuses to stay buried.

What players say

Players consistently describe a short co-op game about hauling a body bag up an unfinished skyscraper while it fights back, best played with a full squad rather than solo. Most praise the physics chaos, the plunger gun, and the laughs, though some say the controls frustrate and agree it is rough around the edges.
