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, oppressive survival horror where you scavenge by day and desperately defend your hideout from unknowable terrors at night

What players say
Players praise Darkwood's unmatched sound design and tense, slow-burn horror that relies on atmosphere rather than jumpscares. The top-down survival gameplay, with crafting and resource management, keeps players on edge. Reviews split on whether the difficulty and tedium are immersive or frustrating.
