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 slow, contemplative walk through a silent, abandoned space station, uncovering a mystery that feels both lonely and unsettling.

What players say

Players are split on De-Void: some praise its atmospheric sci-fi mystery and voice acting, while others complain about aimless wandering, a short story with a weak ending, and no quick saves. The dated graphics and copy-paste level design are frequently noted.
