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 lighthearted survival horror adventure where you unravel a mystery on a volcanic island without grinding through hordes of enemies.

What players say
Players describe it as a story-driven survival horror with light puzzle solving and a cliffhanger. Many note poor optimization, with freezes and crashes on Steamdeck. Some are put off by AI-generated voices. There is no Chinese localization or Steam achievements.
