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

Playing Type Your Fate feels like being alone in a dark, abandoned house, typing commands into a console while solving escape-room-style puzzles with a persistent sense of dread.

What players say

Players enjoy the mix of classic text adventure and survival horror, describing it as typing frantically while a killer hunts you. The sound design is praised for building tension. However, the early access version has notable bugs: frequent crashes and input lag that frustrate some players. The developer is responsive and pushes updates, which the community appreciates.
