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

A slow-burn supernatural mystery that combines tense exploration with meaningful dialogue choices and a subtly unnerving atmosphere.

What players say

Players are split on Oxenfree II. Many say it falls short of the original, with slower pacing and less character development, but praise the voice acting and story. The ending is widely considered strong, while the movement speed and talkative companion Jacob draw complaints.
