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 branching narrative that feels like a tense, introspective social experiment driven by atmospheric mystery and player choices.

What players say
Players say it is eerier and has more question variety than the first game, but some find the ending anticlimactic given the time investment.
