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 chaotic survival horror shooter played in VR or on desktop, with drivable vehicles and co-op against procedurally generated threats.

What players say

Players praise the two-person dev team for their responsiveness and crossplay between VR and desktop, but consistently warn that the game is rough, clunky, and unfinished. Co-op is fun, but empty lobbies and awkward VR controls hold it back, and players split on whether it is worth buying in early access.
