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, run-or-die chase through hand-drawn nightmare mazes where hiding is impossible and survival depends on constant movement.

What players say
Players compare it to a first-person Pac-Man in a horror setting. The hand-drawn art and atmosphere are praised, but many find the gameplay shallow and note the single map requires restarting with a slow cutscene each time. Reviews split on whether the challenge feels fair or random, and some criticize the model of locking content behind DLC.
