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 retro point-and-click horror adventure with darkly funny undertones, nonlinear exploration, and a heavy Amiga-era atmosphere.

What players say

Players compare Cease to Breathe to classic MacVenture games like Shadowgate and Uninvited. They praise the atmosphere and puzzles, but note frequent spelling and grammar mistakes throughout the text. Some find the navigation unintuitive and the puzzle logic occasionally arbitrary.
