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 tense, atmospheric survival horror where you scavenge and stealth through a twisted, open world nightmare.

What players say

Players say it trades the first game's linear corridors for semi-open world exploration, with smoother combat and stealth. They find the story less memorable than the original, and some report performance issues or rare softlocks. There's no dodge or parry mechanic.
