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.

What players say

Players say Locked in my Darkness is a very short horror game, about 40 minutes to an hour, with too much backtracking and cheap jump scares. There is no autosave, and many find the ending abrupt and unsatisfying. A few note the puzzles are simple, but reviewers overall find the atmosphere fails to build tension and the game feels overpriced for what it offers.
