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 globe-trotting archaeological thriller with stealth, puzzle-solving, and cinematic first-person action.

What players say

Players say it feels like a new Indiana Jones movie, with Troy Baker's voice acting spot-on and a focus on puzzles and stealth rather than combat. Reviews split on linearity: some praise the open exploration in locations, others find it too guided. The ending leaves some wanting more, and bugs like an unreachable key item have frustrated players even 18 months after release.
