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 play as an untrained crew member desperately trying to restart a failing spaceship's systems under time pressure, with constant tension and minimal help.

What players say
Players praise the atmosphere and enjoy the terminal puzzles but nearly all say the final sequence ruins the experience. It swaps puzzling for an instant-death chase with no hint, and reviews consistently call the ending atrocious. The game also has unskippable dialogue, slow movement, and game-breaking bugs that the developers never fixed.
