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

The feel of navigating claustrophobic trenches and overrun forts with methodical inventory management and punishing tension.

What players say

Players praise the World War I atmosphere and survival horror homage to Resident Evil, but are split on the gameplay. The trench setting is universally lauded for its historical horror, while many complain about excessive backtracking, key-hunt puzzles, and clunky combat. A missable item for the true ending frustrates some, and the UI draws criticism.
