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.

A tense, atmospheric adventure of exploring ancient ruins, solving puzzles, and surviving harsh environments.

What players say

Players widely consider this the best entry in the reboot trilogy, praising the larger exploration areas, challenging optional tombs, and deeper crafting over its predecessor. The narrative remains predictable, and some note performance drops in snowy areas on newer graphics cards.
