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, tense first-person exploration through a pixelated, eerie city with a focus on psychological unease and minimalist retro aesthetics.

What players say

Players describe Red Valley as a short, janky Silent Hill-like that leans into 616 Games' signature 'trash horror' style. Reviews are mixed: some find it fun and entertaining for its low price, while others hit a game-breaking bug where the axe stops being usable, and a few call it a confusing, unpolished knockoff.
