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-burning investigative mystery where you explore a desolate lighthouse using ghost-hunting tools, feeling isolated and uneasy as you piece together a supernatural disappearance.

What players say

Players are split on this sequel: some love its time-travel story and atmosphere, while others find the navigation clunky and puzzles too cryptic. Many note it has no combat or jump scares, and the Director's Cut differs from original walkthroughs. A common complaint is that the controls and graphics feel older than 2004.
