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
It feels like navigating a tense, Lovecraftian point-and-click mystery through icy Antarctic wastelands and shifting eerie environments, with a methodical puzzle-solving pace.

What players say
Players are split on Prisoner of Ice. Some love its pulpy Lovecraft atmosphere and story, but nearly everyone says the puzzles are broken by pixel hunting and moon logic, making it miserable without a walkthrough. It is much shorter than its predecessor Shadow of the Comet, about 3-4 hours, and many find the writing, pacing and 3D models a step down.
