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 tense and fast-paced supernatural thriller that feels like an arcade-action shooter with a cinematic story.

What players say
Players say this is a short arcade-like spin-off that trades the first game's horror for pulpy fun. Combat feels improved, but the story is weaker and missions become repetitive because of the time-loop structure.
