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, solitary trek through a dark forest where you gather clues while feeling constantly watched.

What players say

Players are split on The Hunted. Some enjoy the scares and atmosphere, especially with friends, while others find it unfinished and frustrating. The monster's unpredictable behavior and lack of save points mean a single death sends you back to the start. A few call it a Bigfoot-like game that is more glitchy than its inspiration.
