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-paced, contemplative stroll through terraformed Martian ruins with a lone maintenance drone, focused on atmospheric discovery rather than action.

What players say

Players largely praise this as a faithful visual remaster of the 2017 original, but note it is very short, around one hour. The voice acting and android dialogue are highlights, though the game is essentially the same story with no continuation. Some with older graphics cards report needing to lower settings for Unreal Engine 5.
