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 tight, tense survival-horror interlude that echoes the puzzle-and-dread feel of classic Resident Evil.

About

Lost in Nightmares is the first story-based DLC for Resident Evil 5, set during a previous mission hinted at in flashback from that game. It is about 1 hour in length, depending on the difficulty, and experienced players can beat it in under 30 minutes. It is, all together, one chapter filled with classic puzzles and moments that will take players back to the first Resident Evil. It also features a scoreboard with worldwide rankings based on performance in the scenario as well as collection items. This extra chapter is not accessible from the start of the game. It becomes unlocked after Chapter 3-1, the Marshlands, has been completed in the core campaign.
