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 short loop where you monitor a dinosaur from CCTV with a torch, completing objectives while restarting from scratch on death.

What players say
Players praise the charm and suspense of this solo-developed dinosaur horror game, particularly the camera-based minigame and northern Irish voice acting. It is short, around an hour, but many note bugs and missing quality-of-life features like saves, the developer is actively patching.
