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 first-person walk through abandoned places, piecing together a dark mystery while avoiding threats.

What players say
Players widely dismiss this as an asset flip with a huge but empty map, repetitive walk-and-search gameplay, and almost no puzzles. A few note decent sound and atmosphere, but most say it is confusing, boring, and overpriced. Technical issues like crashes and accidental desktop clicks add to the frustration.
