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
Playing feels like navigating a tense, lonely descent into a dark and uncertain reality from the perspective of a vulnerable protagonist.

What players say
Players praise the voice acting, character designs, and story set in a religious institution, calling it a unique psychological experience. The game is slow-paced with some janky movement and controls, and players are eager for chapter 2.
