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

You explore a dark, shifting Victorian mansion in VR, uncovering the twisted mind of an insane painter through macabre artwork and eerie secrets.

What players say

Players say the VR port suffers from missing hand models and broken interactions, especially on Quest headsets, with washed-out colors and frequent softlocks. The scares rely heavily on loud jumpscares, and the experience is a direct port of the original with no added content or DLC.
