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, slow-paced horror adventure where you explore a cursed forest, exorcising spirits and cleansing objects with a cross and faith.

What players say

Players are split on EVIL. Some call it one of the most forgettable horror games, a generic walking sim where navigating samey maps without a map or markers makes it easy to get lost. Others appreciate its creepy atmosphere and sound design, comparing it to Nosferatu: The Wrath of Malachi. Many note instant death restarts and a short length of around two hours with two endings.
