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 lonely, tense sci-fi survival experience where you explore a damaged spacecraft in orbit around Saturn, uncovering a terrifying presence.

What players say

Players report a very short experience, roughly 15 minutes, that ends without resolving the story. The flickering dim light with no flashlight makes navigation frustrating, and some encounter a bug where a required item is missing or fall through the world and lose progress. The game also forces windowed mode, which breaks immersion for some.
