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.

A slow, atmospheric investigation into cosmic horror where sanity erodes as you explore a dark, isolated island.

What players say

Players praise the Lovecraftian atmosphere and story, but the game is held back by technical issues like crashes, stiff animations, and poor voice acting. The ending disappoints many, and gameplay sections like stealth and combat are widely seen as weak.
