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

A slow-burning, dread-filled descent into cosmic horror and psychological despair.

What players say

Players praise the art style and Lovecraftian atmosphere but are split on whether the writing is well-crafted or amateurish. The game is nearly identical to a free decade-old version, with cut content and no meaningful new scenes. Gameplay is grindy, requiring repeated returns to the same locations, and progress depends heavily on random chance. The endings are widely criticized as unsatisfying.
