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

Playing Escape Academy feels like a frantic, cooperative puzzle hunt in a cartoonishly styled escape room.

What players say

Players call it a fun co-op escape room with creative puzzles and a comic book look, but opinions split on difficulty: early puzzles feel too easy while the game ends just as it gets challenging. The timer and frantic music upset some who want to solve at their own pace. A grindy tournament mode with repetitive puzzles draws strong criticism from achievement hunters.
