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
A slow-burn first-person exploration game where you uncover unsettling mysteries in a decaying university, with a pervasive sense of dread and the feeling of being trapped in a surreal, Lovecraftian nightmare.

What players say
Players describe it as a Lovecraftian walking simulator with a focus on exploration and atmosphere, but its heavy referential humor undercuts any tension. Reviews are split on the ending, which some find unsatisfying and abrupt.
