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 deliberately paced, immersive VR dungeon crawl that blends melee combat and ritual magic with a persistent sense of dread and discovery.

What players say

Players praise the gesture-based spellcasting system for feeling immersive and natural, but they split on the game's quality: some love the dark, horror-infused atmosphere and Dark Souls-inspired challenge, while others find the combat frustrating, enemies dumb, and visuals poor. The developer's responsiveness on forums is a consistent positive point.
