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 creep through a warping, decaying mansion, solving cryptic puzzles while a lurking presence watches your every move.

What players say
Players say the game is short, around 15 to 20 minutes, and its puzzles are easy. Many are surprised by a chatbot interaction near the end that seems unrelated to the rest of the game, and they feel the game has no proper conclusion. A few note it works fine on Steam Deck.
