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 and your team explore haunted locales, feeling constant tension as you solve puzzles and flee a monster that can strike at any moment.

What players say

Players say the game sits abandoned, with servers down and development stopped in 2019, making it unplayable online. A few still treasure it for the scares and co-op fun with friends, especially before the 4v1 horror genre took off, but most are bitter that a sequel was announced instead of fixing this one.
