Cat in the Box

I've always had a soft spot for RPG Maker games, especially horror-based ones that know how to pace themselves with a limited runtime that doesn't overly frustrate the player with an egregious amount of jank and unnecessary mechanics and puzzles that have absolutely no logic behind them due to a lack of testing and an overinflated ego. That said, as one can imagine, this filters out a good portion of the general...

The game is a really pleasant surprise. I’ve played a lot of horror RPGs, and "Cat in the Box" is really well made.
