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 tense, lonely crawl through a decaying exclusion zone where every resource is precious and escape feels just out of reach.

What players say

Players call it a short, atmospheric homage to Silent Hill 3 with PS2-era combat made slightly less frustrating. Opinions split on its flaws: some say the camera causes motion sickness, others point to a maze-like level and a disappointing ending that dampens the experience.
