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 tense, realistic horror experience that puts you directly into an investigative role inside a dark, abandoned villa.

What players say

Players praise the atmosphere and scares but consistently warn that it is more a demo than a full game, ending in under an hour with no Chapter 2 ever released. Reviews split on bugs: some call it smooth, others report broken menus, stuck items and poor optimization that make it unplayable in VR.
