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 grim, slow-paced third-person survival horror where you explore foggy, twisted environments while solving puzzles and fighting grotesque creatures amid a deteriorating grip on reality.

What players say

Players are split: many call this a terribly buggy PC port that crashes constantly and requires mods to be playable, while a few say the game works fine for them. The story and atmosphere get praise, but the combat is clunky and the game is very linear.
