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 sneak and fight through a twisted animation studio, solving puzzles while evading ink monsters in a tense, atmospheric horror experience.

What players say

Players are split on this sequel. Many praise the story and atmosphere, but a loud chorus complains about clunky combat with no block or dodge, frustrating stealth, confusing maps, and a save system that can wipe progress. The Ink Demon is called annoying rather than scary. Comparisons to Bioshock are common but often mocked by players who say the game lacks that polish.
