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.

A heavy, somber investigation into a haunting disappearance, driven by sorrow and the oppressive atmosphere of an abandoned world.

What players say

Players are split on The Erased Student. Many praise its atmosphere and story but agree there are too many jump scares, which some feel undercuts the tension. Performance problems are widespread, even on high-end hardware, and several reviewers report bugs like getting stuck on stairs or crashing.
