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 tense, minimalist platformer where every step risks sudden annihilation and the game itself feels like a harsh, unpredictable opponent.

What players say

Players are split on Escape from Vacov. Some praise its challenging disappearing-platform mechanics and addictive difficulty, calling it a solid test of reflexes. Others warn the marketing used AI-generated assets and say development stalled barely a month into early access, leaving the game feeling incomplete and short on levels.
