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.

A tense, story-driven walk through a troubled mind with daily routines that turn into a nightmare of memory and fear.

What players say

Players are split on The Demon Within Me. Some praise its atmosphere and story, while others find it a boring walking simulator with too much backtracking and not enough happening. Critics call the jumpscares predictable and the gameplay repetitive, with some noting unfinished assets showing missing textures. The game takes about an hour to complete.
