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 slow, immersive descent into psychological dread through atmospheric exploration and cryptic puzzles.

What players say

Players compare Asylum unfavorably to Scratches, calling it atmospheric but let down by a weak story and abrupt ending. The puzzles are engaging and logical, though some find them obtuse. Technical issues like crashes on exit and missing audio are reported.
