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 fast-paced social deduction game where players are trapped in a castle, balancing alliance-building and manipulation in a tense, cartoonish setting.

What players say

Players say it is a free social deduction game that blends Town of Salem and Among Us mechanics, with a third faction and unique roles. Early maps were too large for the kill-to-catch balance, but developers reduced them. The main complaint is a small player base that makes finding lobbies difficult, leaving the game best enjoyed with friends.
