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

You loop through a stark subway platform, searching for subtle anomalies as a low-grade dread builds with each return to the elevator.

What players say

Players say it is harder than other anomaly-detection games, with very subtle anomalies that can be frustrating to spot. Many feel the number of anomalies is low, and some find the gameplay repetitive. The controller button layout is confusing, though the humor and ties to the previous game are appreciated.
