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, lonely night shift where you frantically solve puzzles to keep the lighthouse beam alive while dread builds around you.

What players say

Players are split on Beacon's Bluff. Some praise the atmosphere, art, and randomized puzzles, while others find the mouse controls frustrating and the puzzles too simple and repetitive. Time pressure is a common complaint, with some saying it is too tight, though updates improved balancing. A few suspect AI-generated assets. The game is short, often compared to a less scary FNAF.
