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 slow, somber walk through a dark forest and surreal witch's lair, driven by grief and quiet mystery rather than scares.

What players say

Players say Umbra Halloween is a short, visually striking horror game that takes about an hour. Some praise its eerie atmosphere and cutscenes, though others find the sound design painfully distorted and the gameplay too simple. The story is cryptic, with a surprising ending twist.
