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 small, janky horror game with a darkly humorous tone, slow exploration and turn-based combat, where the player returns to a cursed forest to investigate a strange child.

What players say

Players are deeply split on Matanga 2. Some call it a charming, offbeat indie horror that improves on the first game, while others call it unfinished and not worth the price. The story about a father and his unnerving baby gets mentioned, but most agree the game is very short, around one hour.
