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 darkly strategic narrative game where every choice on the occult board shapes your demonic dealings and challenges.

What players say
Players describe dense occult worldbuilding and inventive tabletop-inspired mechanics, but the opaque systems make it a struggle. Many compare it to Cultist Simulator, though some find Apollyon even harder to decipher. Players split on RNG and lack of in-game guidance, while praising the writing and non-linear storytelling.
