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
Swimming through dense fog and confusing cave systems while fleeing a relentless monster creates a tense, claustrophobic escape experience.

What players say
Players are split. Some praise the choose-your-own-adventure style and branching endings, while others find the controls clunky, objectives unclear, and deaths abrupt with no real punishment. Everyone agrees the game is very short, finishing in under an hour.
