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

You explore a dimly-lit, voxel-based store as a student on a summer job, piecing together unsettling clues across three days until a final twist tests how well you've been paying attention.

What players say

Players say Veles Scary is a short horror game with a simple but well-written story and effective scares, though some screamers feel rough. It is still in development with bugs, but reviewers find it worth the price for a single evening.
