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 explore a frozen, isolated research facility, solving puzzles and uncovering a mystery through a tense, point-and-click adventure.

What players say

Players praise the Antarctic setting and story, many comparing it to The Thing, but split on the puzzles: early ones are logical, later ones feel arbitrary. The hint button is a full solution, not a hint. The lack of visible interactable objects and the ESC key quitting the game without warning frustrate some. It is a short playthrough, around 2 to 5 hours.
