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

You skulk through dark rooms, hiding from a relentless killer while scavenging for items to turn the tables and survive.

What players say

Players say Horror Stories has a promising concept, hiding from a killer while setting traps, but call it unfinished and unfair. The AI is wildly inconsistent, often spotting you through walls or not seeing you at close range. Most players agree it is a primitive, repetitive take on Dead by Daylight with broken progress that can reset after the sixteenth level.
