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 frantically scavenge and hammer planks against an unseen threat, carrying a mounting sense of dread and urgency.

What players say
Players say this is a short, tense horror game centered on nailing doors shut against an unknown threat. The atmosphere is praised but some find the ending confusing and note bugs at launch.
