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 explore a remote island and a secluded house at your own pace, uncovering clues in a quiet, tense, and darkly atmospheric paranormal investigation.

What players say

Players are split on Angels Cove. Some praise its atmosphere and decent scares for the price, but many report game-breaking bugs that trap them in a closet or force restarts late in the game. The protagonist cannot run or jump, and the hour-long experience relies on autosaves that can reset progress significantly.
