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, procedurally generated escape through a strange museum where progress resets each run.

What players say

Players praise the Tim Burton style graphics and tense atmosphere but report clunky controls and bugs, especially in multiplayer where players can't see each other. The game relies heavily on jump scares and offers both a puzzle-driven story mode and a roguelike mode for up to four players.
