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, atmospheric survival horror game that feels like a retrospective tribute to early 2000s classics with a focus on puzzles and exploration.

What players say

Players call Observo a love letter to classic survival horror, especially Silent Hill, with strong atmosphere, music, and puzzles. Combat is the main point of disagreement: some find it frustrating and clunky, others say it works once you get used to it. Many note there are too many enemies, and the game is about 5 hours long.
