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 brooding, text-heavy journey through a parasitic dimension where you creep through eerie locales, manage a misfit crew, and unearth cryptic secrets under constant pressure to escape.

What players say
Players praise the writing and worldbuilding but say the gameplay is a slog, with repetitive room traversal and janky combat. The game is frequently compared to Sunless Sea, and while fans of that game will find more to love, others warn that exploration feels tedious and some story threads go nowhere.
