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 creeping sense of dread builds as you explore a mundane house haunted by grotesque alien nightmares bleeding through a dark mirror world.

About
You have just moved into a new house and you are experiencing some horrible nightmares. The nightmares are caused by the Aliens that made the "dark world" which the only access to is through the magic mirror. You've got to find whats behind those nightmares and get rid of the Aliens.
What players say
A Giger-inspired horror adventure whose oppressive nightmare-world atmosphere is its main draw, while the gameplay is notorious for cryptic moon-logic puzzles, pixel-hunting, and an unforgiving timer that strands players in unwinnable states. Mostly remembered as a flawed curiosity carried by its art.
