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 quiet, text-driven descent into an eerie, trapped-school mystery where dread builds through narration rather than action.

About

Eko Eko Azarak: Wizard of Darkness is a sound-novel-style adventure game based on the 1995 horror film of the same title, in turn adapted from the 1975 manga by Shinichi Koga, which tells an original story set in the same universe. High school student and witch Misa Kuroi has been trapped along with 12 other students in her school by a mysterious individual planning to summon the demon Lucifer into the human realm. The game is presented as a sound novel, consisting of long segments of text narration with digitized photo graphics; there are occasional choices for the player to make which can branch the story in various directions.
