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

Clumsy hand-based controls add chaotic tension to a comedic sci-fi survival situation where you must identify and stop alien-infected crewmates.

What players say

Players split on the fun. Those who get a group together enjoy the chaotic social deduction, but most report dead servers and a high barrier to entry with no tutorial and a complex map.
