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 feel like a detached but watchful guardian, guiding a lone survivor through a tense, puzzle-laden boat by peering through camera feeds.

What players say

Players say the game is a unique point-and-click where you guide a character through surveillance cameras, not control her directly. Reviews consistently call it slow and buggy, with crashes and poor translation on Steam, though the mystery and puzzles keep some engaged.
