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 goofy, text-driven co-op experience where you laugh with friends as you fumble through Lovecraftian apocalypses, with choices that lead to chaotic, funny endings.

What players say

Players praise the humorous take on Lovecraft and liken it to The Yawhg or a digital board game. The game is built around short, replayable sessions with randomized events and many endings, and its strength is best realized with friends in local co-op, a limitation some wish had online matchmaking. Community-created content via Steam Workshop adds longevity.
