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 slow, oppressive descent into existential dread as you navigate a silent, crumbling underwater facility while grappling with questions of identity and consciousness.

What players say
Players love SOMA for its thought-provoking story and philosophical questions about consciousness, with many calling it an existential crisis in game form. The horror comes more from the narrative and atmosphere than jump scares, though some find the ending emotionally devastating. The gameplay is minimal, focused on exploration and avoiding enemies rather than combat.
