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 walking simulator where you explore a dark asylum and uncover a supernatural mystery through narrative and exploration.

What players say
Players widely agree the game is a short, repetitive collect-a-thon with a monster that cannot pathfind and frequently bugs out. Many say it was better on release and has since deteriorated, with corrupted saves and unresponsive doors making the experience frustrating.
