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

You wander endlessly through empty, liminal hallways, feeling isolated and unsettled as you search for any sign of life.

What players say

Players praise the photorealistic graphics and tense atmosphere, but many find it too short and boring as a walking sim with little interactivity and linear levels. Reviews recommend it only on sale, and note that getting both endings requires restarting from scratch.
