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

A disturbing pixel-art graphic adventure where you explore a world of mirrors and shadows as a burned, voiceless man on a harrowing journey through madness and terror.

What players say

Players say this prequel shifts away from the survival horror combat of the original toward a more traditional point-and-click adventure with simple puzzles. The game is short, around 3-4 hours, and uses mirrors for flashback storytelling. Some miss the survival elements, others appreciate the streamlined approach.
