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 tense, immersive first-person survival horror experience where you defend your home from an unknown threat, balancing strategy and quick decisions to survive until dawn.

What players say

Players describe STRANGER as a tense home-invasion survival horror with a simple loop of locking windows to survive until dawn. It avoids cheap jump scares, instead building dread through sound and darkness, though some find the atmosphere lacking. The game is short and solo-developed VR support has menu limitations and occasional darkness that frustrates players.
