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, nightmarish side-scroller where you wander a surreal cabin, evading an unknown threat while solving puzzles to survive until dawn.

What players say
Players praise the atmosphere and sound design for creating genuine dread, but strongly criticize the repetitive, RNG-dependent gameplay that becomes frustrating near the end. The game is described as more of an experience than a traditional game, with an obscure story and unfair difficulty late in its life.
