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 short, story-driven walking sim that feels like a tense, atmospheric descent into surreal and violent psychological horror.

What players say

Players are split on The Hungry Fly. Some call it a slog that relies on random dream logic and lacks a clear message, while others praise its eerie atmosphere and say choices leave a real impact on the narrative. Everyone agrees it is short, around one to two hours to complete.
