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

You navigate a creepy, claustrophobic facility while evading doll-like horrors using stealth and strategy under timed pressure.

What players say

Players are split. Some say it improves on the first game with more space, but others find it buggy and frustrating with random jumpscares. One reviewer warns it worsened after the original.
