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 explore haunted locations with friends, using gadgets and a checklist to identify ghosts while managing your energy through items like caffeine pills.

What players say

Players split on Scared Tube. Some find the ghost-hunting concept fun and the cell phone idea fresh, but many say it is unfinished with reused assets. Reviews note confusing objectives, a non-functional Ouija board, and too few scares. Development stalled in 2023 and updates have stopped.
