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 tense, darkly atmospheric interactive story with gritty 3D visuals and dialogue-driven choices that shape trust and outcomes.

What players say

Players say the sequel is even shorter than the first, finishing in about 40 minutes, and that character backgrounds feel thinner. The story continues directly, with Claire now a detective and a new group of captives. Many enjoyed it but wish there was more content, and some feel it was rushed.
