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 tense and melancholic trek through a surreal, retrotech nightmare of cosmic dread and oppressive silence.

What players say

Players praise the oppressive atmosphere and tight survival horror mechanics, but are divided on the intentionally opaque story, many call it confusing even after guides, while others say it is a game to feel rather than understand. Comparisons to Silent Hill 2 and Resident Evil are common, and the emotional weight of the character relationship is frequently noted.
