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 cooperative survival horror game where you and your team treat creepy infestations while using strategy and voice chat to stay safe.

What players say

Players say the co-op horror game has fun ideas and a memorable Steamboat Willie mode but is abandoned by the developers with no updates since 2024. Multiplayer is dead, content runs out in a few hours, and the grind gets repetitive. Commends are split between those who enjoyed the short experience and those who warn it is unfinished.
