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 play as an investigator navigating a decaying Victorian lighthouse, solving puzzles to contain supernatural anomalies while being haunted by whispering entities.

What players say

Players largely enjoy this anomaly hunting game set in a cruise ship or lighthouse, but are split on the 'stand still when music stops' mechanic. Many find it frustrating when accidental mouse movement ends a run, and some complain about mouse smoothing, forced motion blur, and darkness that makes spotting anomalies harder.
