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 a sprawling, dark apartment complex, scavenging for supplies and solving puzzles while evading monsters and cultists in a tense, story-driven survival horror experience.

What players say

Players strongly prefer the original Skyhill, calling this a buggy sequel with crashes, save wipes, and softlocks that make progress impossible. Combat and stealth start decent but become frustrating, and the lack of a map and key rebinding hurts.
