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

Navigating a mysterious facility by switching between two characters to solve interconnected puzzles feels like a careful, atmospheric escape-room challenge.

What players say

Players say Hidden is a free anime puzzle-stealth game that is severely buggy, with glitches that can block the ending. The camera and object interaction are frustrating, and laser puzzles in particular draw complaints, though some found the few hours of puzzling tolerable for a free title.
