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, wordless journey through a surreal and eerie subconscious, where you evade gruesome beings and gradually confront childhood fears.

What players say
Players praise the surreal, creepy atmosphere and emotional story about facing childhood fears, but note it is a short game at about two to three hours. The puzzles are simple and the gameplay is closer to a walking simulator, with no jump scares. Opinions are split on the price.
