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 desperate, claustrophobic struggle against grotesque monstrosities in a dimly lit, decaying space station, with relentless combat and constant dread.

What players say

Players call it the best Dead Space, improving on the first with more varied environments and guns. Some find it leans into action horror and loses the original's atmosphere. A few report DRM and crashing problems on PC.
