Cat in the Box

You play as a young video creator who enters a mansion once owned by a cult to film its interior. After encountering a pursuer, she finds that the way out has changed and must investigate the mansion to understand what is happening.

Explore connected rooms, inspect suspicious places, and search for keys, objects, and clues that open new areas or help solve environmental puzzles. Use tools and observation to navigate the mansion and evade the entities that pursue you.

The game includes chase sequences and moments where you must wake from nightmares to survive. Video tapes serve as limited save opportunities, and choices can lead to different endings.

Players who enjoy the game often highlight its unsettling atmosphere, sound and visual presentation, and story twists. Reviews also appreciate exploring the mansion for hidden details, along with its puzzles and tense chase scenes. Some players find those chases frustrating, and opinions differ on the clarity of the story and puzzles.
