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.

What players say

Players describe Lure as a very short horror game that takes about five minutes, with most agreeing it is essentially a walking simulator leading to one jumpscare. Opinions are split on whether that brief experience is worth the time, with some calling it atmospheric and others dismissing it as pointless.
