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 short, tense first-person horror experience where you are hunted in your own home, must keep your wits and make quick choices that shape your survival.

What players say

Players call Chester a short horror game with a unique blanket mechanic and a good ending worth reaching. The game is very dark, which makes some puzzles nearly impossible on certain monitors, and its lack of a save system forces restarts on death. Some also warn about rapid flashing that can cause eye strain.
