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, noir-infused psychological thriller where you guide a woman through a nightmare of her own making, with a slow, atmospheric pace and moral ambiguity.

What players say

Players praise the story and atmosphere of this dark southern gothic tale, but split on the gameplay. Some find the mini-games and slow movement frustrating, and the lack of a manual save causes problems. The game is short, around 2 to 3 hours.
