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 slow, atmospheric walking simulator that blends mundane lighthouse-keeping chores with an unraveling sense of dread and mystery.

What players say
Players praise the atmosphere and early game, but many say the final act turns into an overly dark, clunky shooter section that is frustrating rather than scary. Some compare it to Firewatch and note bugs, while a few enjoy the mystery and twist ending.
