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 explore a haunted island with a group, balancing supernatural threats and suspicion of a hidden traitor among you.

What players say

Players praise the horror atmosphere and the blend of co-op with a traitor mechanic, but the near-empty online lobbies make the game unplayable for anyone without a pre-made group. Even after the developer added a short single-player campaign, reviews say the game feels abandoned and lacks bots or proper matchmaking.
