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, methodical exploration through a procedurally generated endless space where careful observation and caution are key.

What players say

Players are split on Anomaly Loop. Some enjoy the anomaly mechanics and the added red rooms, while others find the kill rooms frustrating and the anomaly generation luck-based. A few note the game runs fine on Steam Deck but has bright visuals that bother some eyes.
