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

You play as a security guard trapped in a nightmarish office building, solving puzzles and sneaking past deadly entities in a tense, linear survival horror experience.

What players say

Players say Precept is a short, challenging horror experience with a strong atmosphere and inventive enemy mechanics, like having to freeze when a creature senses you. It's compared to games like The Classrooms, and many find it scary but note it has no story and can be difficult.
