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 multiplayer game of tense social deduction and survival where you constantly suspect allies and race to escape before the infected pick you off.

What players say

Players loved the social deduction and tension, but the game is officially shut down since 2023, so only private lobbies work. Many mention a toxic community that turned matches into shouting and random voting, and that infected players are too powerful after the first round.
