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, story-driven first-person horror adventure through a foreboding island with intricate puzzles and monstrous encounters.

What players say

Players praise the tense atmosphere and mix of puzzles with combat, often noting the panic closet mechanic where you charge batteries to create safe zones. The puzzles can be skipped on lower difficulties, but some reviewers find them irritating when enemies interrupt. Many compare it favorably to Tormented Souls or Bioshock, and a few mention the price feels high for an indie game.
