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

You wander eerie office backrooms, drawing supernatural cards to fight demons in a tense, darkly funny roguelike crawl.

What players say

Players praise the spooky atmosphere and creative card-based perk system, but many report crashes, invisible characters, and broken multiplayer. The game is made by one developer, which explains the bugs, but the price feels high for the rough state. Some call it a scam, others enjoy the horror with friends.
