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.

You explore a desolate Mars base, piecing together a creeping dread as reality warps around you.

What players say

Players praise the Lovecraftian atmosphere and story, especially fans of The Secret World, but are split on gameplay. Many find the puzzles tedious, the animations clunky, and the checkpoints punishing, leading to frustration and instant death loops.
