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, methodical detective walk through a desolate manor where peering into ghostly memories is the only way to piece together a violent, supernatural mystery.

What players say
Players compare the detective work to Return of the Obra Dinn but find the story convoluted and the ending unsatisfying. The interface has no mouse control and requires repetitive name-filling, while the character designs are hard to distinguish. Reviews split on whether the puzzle payoff justifies the short, single-playthrough experience.
