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 short, tense first-person walk through dark, whispering asylum corridors where puzzles and atmosphere replace action.

What players say

Players describe Lair of Torment as an escape-room style puzzle game with horror elements. It is short, around one hour, and relies on effective jump scares. There is no threat from monsters, only unsettling atmosphere and a surprise ending. The price is low, which players feel is fair for the length.
