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 creep through a 1970s jungle commune, tense and observant, weighing each silent move against the hope of saving someone who might not want to be saved.

What players say
Players praise the cult-infiltration concept and its Jonestown inspiration, but they split sharply on execution. Many find the stealth and controls clunky and say procedural generation undermines level design, while others enjoy the atmosphere and the hunt for multiple endings. Nearly everyone agrees it is worth no more than $2, and patience is required.
