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
You explore dark, puzzle-filled environments as a tormented detective, piecing together clues while a creeping sense of dread and cosmic horror slowly unravels your own past.

What players say
Players are split on this sequel. Some appreciate the more straightforward story and roamable 3D environments, but many find the transition from pre-rendered backgrounds a mistake, introducing janky controls, tiny pixel-hunt triggers, and bugs like falling through the map or broken saves. Puzzles are harder and often illogical, making a walkthrough nearly essential.
