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 creep through a dim bunker, camera in hand, distrusting every flicker and shadow as the line between real and unreal blurs.

What players say

Players praise it as a solid anomaly-hunting game with three distinct levels, cleverly hidden anomalies, and well-timed jump scares. Some wish for an auto-run option and the ability to disable hints without switching to permadeath mode. A few reviewers report a minor bug on level 3.
