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 slow, atmospheric exploration through a foreboding mansion where each clue deepens an unnerving sense of family tragedy.

What players say

Players are split on Family Curse. Some enjoy its short horror atmosphere, decent puzzles and creepy vibe, but many others say puzzles lack hints, jump scares feel cheap, and the story ends without proper conclusion. A few report heavy crashes on Nvidia GPUs.
