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, tense exploration of dread and psychological horror through simple item-finding and a grim story inspired by Edgar Allan Poe.

What players say

Players are sharply divided on this short horror game based on Edgar Allan Poe. Many praise its atmosphere and creepy moments, but just as many condemn its lack of a save function, reliance on cheap jump scares, and bugs that can force a restart. There is no consensus, it is either a promising indie experience or a waste of time.
