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, quiet exploration through a misty Cornish forest at night, piecing together an ancient mystery with a creeping sense of unease.

What players say
Players praise the eerie atmosphere and British folklore setting, but note it is a dated 2006 point-and-click with frustrating controls, glitchy movement, and puzzles that often require a guide.
