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.

About

The dark will reveal all in this third-person narrative-driven survival horror game set in the jazz/noir-era of the 1930s. White Night is both a survival horror and an homage to the first survival horror while developing its own identity. Set in America's early thirties, the game offers to live the nightmare of a man, hurt and trapped in an old family manor where darkness is a constant threat. Stranded and injured in the dead of night after an unfortunate automobile accident, players must investigate a nearby dilapidated mansion and interact with their surroundings in search of aid and answers. White Night challenges players to confront the nightmares of the past on an adventure in which darkness is the enemy… and darkness is everywhere.
