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

Faith feels like stumbling through a grainy, low-res horror demo tape from the 80s, where every pixelated corner holds a quiet dread and the story unfolds through deliberate, sparse interactions.

About

Faith is a pixel horror game inspired by the era of MS-DOS, Apple II, Atari, and ZX Spectrum classics. Forget blue-and-pink neon. The 1980s were scary. No Internet, it was hard to reach you if you weren't home, and the U.S. was engrossed in the “Satanic Scare” which fueled widespread paranoia about devil-worshiping, witchcraft, and occult practices.
