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 bleak Antarctic locations, searching for hidden objects and solving puzzles while uncovering a Lovecraftian mystery with a constant undercurrent of dread.

What players say

Players praise the Lovecraft adaptation and say it blends hidden-object gameplay with puzzles, but nearly everyone agrees the game is very short at under 3 hours. Some note it is too easy, others flag low resolution and the lack of voice acting.
