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 lighthearted, quirky adventure through corrupted timelines, with humor and gentle puzzle-like exploration.

What players say

Players describe it as a single-player Dead by Daylight with a goofy horror tone and massive replayability from 40+ enemies and random events. The main complaints are long loading times and a lack of beginner guidance, with new players feeling thrown into a confusing hub with no explanation.
