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.

A tense cooperative survival horror where you must solve puzzles and evade cultists while trying to survive a monstrous threat.

What players say

Players are split: many love playing with friends and find the puzzles challenging and funny, but others say the early access release added nothing beyond the demo, uses AI-generated jumpscares, and has frustrating difficulty even on normal mode.
