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, atmospheric horror adventure with a late-90s aesthetic, blending light puzzle solving and abstract storytelling for a disorienting exploratory feel.

What players say

Players say Demon Compass is a very short free horror game made by the band Provoker. Reviews praise its atmosphere and music, but note the gameplay can be janky, with unclear puzzles and platforming bugs that sometimes softlock progress.
