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 but family-friendly cooperative board game adaptation where players carefully manage limited actions to rescue survivors from a spreading fire.

What players say

Players call it a faithful digital version of the board game that handles the fiddly bits well, but many are frustrated by bugs like victims not registering as saved, the lack of an undo button, and finicky controls. Co-op only works via Remote Play Together, not true online multiplayer.
