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

A chilling first-person trek through the Arctic, where survival means unraveling a story in a realistic and tense underground setting.

What players say

Players praise the chilling atmosphere, voice acting, and survival horror tension, but many warn the early access build is very short and has seen no development updates for over a year, making it feel abandoned. They split on the freezing mechanic, with some finding it tedious, and report technical issues like an overly dark screen and broken volume controls.
