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 slow-burning survival horror with deliberate, classic third-person gameplay and a heavy, eerie mood of dread and mystery.

What players say

Players call it a clear take on classic Resident Evil, with both fixed camera and over-the-shoulder views. The zombie behavior is unreliable, making knife combat frustrating on higher difficulties. Inventory space is tight, backtracking is tedious, and some find the story incoherent after a certain point, though supporters praise its length and atmosphere.
