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, tense exploration through a dark, minimalist forest where an unseen creature stirs, leaving you feeling isolated and watched.

What players say
Players are split on this slow-paced horror walking simulator. Many praise its unsettling atmosphere and art style, often comparing it to Darkwood, but a vocal group finds the forced slow walking and repetitive day structure excruciating. The short runtime (around 90 minutes) and simple mechanics divide opinion, with some calling it a worthwhile atmospheric experience and others a tedious slog.
