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 cooperative hunt where you and your squad cautiously explore cursed territory, hide from malevolent spirits, and coordinate rituals to break a lingering curse.

What players say

Players report a buggy co-op horror with desync and broken mechanics, limited to a single chapter that takes about 2 hours. It has some fun jump scares, but development seems abandoned and the multiplayer can be empty.
