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 first-person horror shooter with turn-based tactical elements, blending cinematic storytelling and psychological dread as a detective confronts supernatural forces in a deserted town.

What players say

Players are split on Paranecro. Some enjoy its funny moments and story, especially the ending, while others cite confusing puzzles, weak jumpscares, and a short few-hour playtime. The price feels steep for the length. Many note it improves on the developer's first game, but some see it as a budget Resident Evil clone.
