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 deeply immersive cinematic journey through a brutal and mythic world, experienced through the fractured perspective of a warrior battling inner and outer darkness.

What players say

Players praise the visuals and audio as top-tier, but many feel the gameplay is too shallow, less puzzle and combat depth than the first game, and the 6-8 hour run feels short for the price. Reviews split on whether the story lands as strongly as the original, with some calling the voices superficial now.
