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 navigate a blizzard in a grainy retro style, manually grabbing items to survive the cold while solving simple puzzles in a short, tense horror walk.

What players say

Players are split on Snowsquall Grip. Many praise its atmospheric retro visuals and sound design, but the constant need to warm up at fires frustrates as many as it charms. The puzzles are described as both straightforward and clunky, and the ending received particular criticism for a poorly made math puzzle and a goofy enemy model.
