Cat Named Mojave is an unsettling retro styled first person horror game where a strange Catman makes you hunt and butcher anthropomorphic creatures.

In Cat Named Mojave you have broken down in the middle of the desert and found a house where you hope to find some help. Inside is a bloodthirsty Catman who says he can help you out, but first you'll need to do some hunting for him. The demo sees you hunting three Cervimorphus – deer-like creatures that live nearby. You grab a shotgun and set off for what turns out to be a horrific slaughter.

It's a very unsettling game with a dark sense of humor and some strange story beats. The retro styled visuals work well and the Catman is a creepy yet charismatic dude. Never trust a cat though!
 
Why is there appeal to horror games? Do people just want to take out their anger at their boring lives by acting like maniacal serial killers in video games?

Edit: this game seems to be competently produced, I just find the subject matter not to my taste and I'm wondering why. But that's a side point from the discussion of this particular game.

If you think horror games are weird to have appeal for, well.. Don't explore the Internet.

You're talking about horror games where you're the perpetrator of the horror rather than the victim, right?

I like horror games where you're (mostly) the victim (Silent Hill 2, Outlast, Resident Evil 6).

Games like this Cat Named Mojave and that Hatred game from a while back are disturbing in a different way. This looks interesting, but I don't think I'll play it because of the reasons you mentioned.

Having said that, who doesn't enjoy the occasional a crime spree in, say, Grand Theft Auto?
