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 traverse a frozen resort and snowy woods, solving a mystery while managing limited supplies against lurking supernatural threats.

What players say

Players praise the atmospheric weather effects and unique 80s-inspired visuals, but the game is nearly unplayable at launch due to repeated crashes in the opening car scene and a lack of any save system. Reviews split between those who see a promising concept and those who cannot even get past the first few minutes.
