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 dark, atmospheric third-person adventure through a mystical forest, blending psychological horror with exploration and a story-driven narrative.

What players say

Players are split on this horror game. Some praise the Native American story and atmosphere, but many complain the gameplay is a slow walking simulator with a frustrating totem-finding sequence and poor voice acting.
