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 tense first-person shooter where you solve puzzles while fighting unseen horrors in a dark, eerie environment.

What players say

Players say Obscurefiend is a very brief technical demo lasting around 15 minutes, with basic puzzles and a crippling clipping bug where oxygen tanks vanish through walls, leaving players unable to progress. The controls lack a mouse sensitivity slider, and navigation is confusing after the first door.
