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, atmospheric survival horror with fixed camera angles that feels like a deliberate homage to 1990s classics.

What players say

Players say H.A.D.E.S Zero faithfully recreates the classic Resident Evil formula with fixed cameras, tank controls, and ink ribbon saves. The experience is short at around 2-4 hours and leans to the easier side, though many note the level design is bland and monochromatic.
