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, story-driven walking simulator through a dark and atmospheric Norse forest where the player experiences a mother's harrowing search for her son.

What players say
Players praise the Norse lore and atmosphere but find the protagonist unlikable and the controls janky. The game is described as a 4-hour slow burn horror that lacks polish, with flat water textures and an unsatisfying ending.
