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, atmospheric survival horror where you either fight or sneak through Lovecraftian nightmares, blending action and stealth with psychological dread.

What players say

Players are split on Venatrix, some praise its spooky atmosphere and the choice between third-person action or first-person stealth, while others call it a cheap, janky Resident Evil clone with short levels and technical issues.
