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, strategic survival horror where every run feels unpredictable and the threat of a gruesome death looms constantly.

What players say

Players say Taken Away is a short horror game about evading an old man and his dog while searching for items. Many call it a direct copy of the game NUMB, with identical room layouts. Some praise the puzzle challenge, but others complain about poor lighting and frustrating item spawn points.
