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.

What players say

Players are split on Anomaly Protocol. Many say multiplayer is broken, monsters don't sync, and clipping into the map causes softlocks, with some calling it barely playable. Others praise the atmosphere and say the solo developer is actively fixing issues with frequent updates, making it a fun co-op horror game once it works.
