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 child navigates a dark, whimsical dreamworld that combines creepy atmosphere with tender, emotional storytelling.

What players say

Players are split on In Nightmare. Some praise its emotional story about childhood trauma and puzzle variety, while others find the gameplay repetitive, with awkward camera angles and inconsistent level design. Bugs and a 'trial version' watermark also frustrate some buyers.
