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

You explore a strange island at your own pace, guided only by sound and sight, uncovering its dark history through environmental clues.

What players say

Players praise the atmosphere and graphics but are sharply divided on the gameplay. Many find the puzzles obscure, the story vague and poorly written, and the lack of saves or checkpoints punishing. Bugs like crashes and falling through the world are common complaints.
