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 and atmospheric first-person investigation through a dark, rural mystery where uncovering secrets feels uneasy and isolating.

What players say

Players describe Dead Secret as a short, atmospheric point-and-click mystery with no combat, relying on exploration and simple puzzles. The game is well-regarded for its creepy tone and light jump scares, though some find the ending confusing and note the walking speed is slow.
