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 navigate a dark Halloween night in a remote Canadian town, creeping through haunted houses and fighting for survival against sinister creatures in both story-driven and survival modes.

What players say

Players describe it as a janky but charming B-movie horror experience that captures the Halloween spirit. Controls are clumsy, voice acting is poor, and the game has bugs, but the atmosphere and nostalgic 80s and 90s vibe make it fun for fans of the holiday.
