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

You coordinate with friends to explore eerie abandoned labs, complete chores and uncover evidence while a malevolent presence lurks, creating a tense and dark co-operative experience.

What players say

Players are split on Inside the Labs. Many enjoy it as a silly co-op horror game with friends, praising the monster designs and task variety. However, a recurring complaint is that monsters are too easy to identify after one encounter, killing replayability, and the game feels janky with bugs and unclear monster differences.
