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 slow, unease-filled walk through an isolated island’s mundane yet surreal horror, as you uncover a grim true story through exploration.

What players say

Players finish this in half an hour to an hour. It is a walking simulator where doors change when you look away, a trick that some find interesting and others call boring. The story is psychological horror with no monsters, similar to Layers of Fear or P.T., but reviewers split on whether the story lands or feels absent. The English voice acting and some texture loading are called weak.
