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 subdued, eerie puzzle adventure where you piece together a fragmented story through shifting dialogues and haunting soundscapes.

About

Faceless: The Sorrowvirus contains an original OST by David Denyer, with accompanying sound design by John Pata. Each instance of gameplay will result in different dialogues to help you find the true ending, as well as discover more of the story behind Faceless. Elements have been extracted from the main game, giving you an idea as to the scenery of the partially derelict Wakeland City that will be seen in Faceless.
