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, isolated trek through a foreboding Antarctic base, where unsettling sounds and cryptic puzzles build a creeping dread.

What players say

Players call it a walking sim with tough puzzles and a strong Lovecraft story based on At the Mountains of Madness. Some report motion sickness and performance problems, while others enjoy the dense atmosphere and flavor text. A game-stopping bug is reported but not widely confirmed.
