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 light-hearted cooperative survival horror where teams of survivors evade a disguised killer through pixelated Backrooms, balancing strategy and stealth.

What players say

Players say the game is fun with friends but feels like early access. The monster is often too weak or too strong, desync hurts hit detection, and there is no tutorial or single-player mode. Reviews call for procedural maps and better balance.
