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

Navigating a dark, eerie hospital in first person, solving puzzles while uncovering a psychological horror story with a 1990s FMV presentation.

What players say

Players call it a cult classic but split on this port -- some say the scanlines and lack of controller support make it unplayable, others appreciate having it on PC. It is a short, story-driven puzzle game with a two-hour time limit and no saving, so players warn there is little replay value once you know the solutions.
