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 choose-your-own-adventure horror game where fear points track your dread as you navigate a haunted mansion.

What players say

Players praise the faithful adaptation of the classic Fighting Fantasy gamebook, noting its modern horror setting and the punishing fear mechanic that makes it harder than other entries. The mansion layout is confusing and success requires a specific item path, with some reporting bugs on easier difficulties that trivialize combat.
