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 slow, tense exploration of icy ruins where story and dialogue drive the atmosphere of dread and mystery.

What players say

Players describe it as a very short visual novel with beautiful art and music but almost no interactivity, where story choices barely matter and lead to three endings in about 90 minutes. The game nails Lovecraft's cosmic horror, though some find the writing derivative and the lack of voice acting a letdown.
