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 navigate a dark temple by candlelight, constantly checking over your shoulder as statues silently move whenever you aren't looking, creating a deeply immersive and tense horror experience.

What players say

Players say Light of Mine is extremely short, often under 20 minutes, and while it has a creepy atmosphere, the VR version suffers from performance issues and stuttering. The flashlight is considered useless, and movement is slow, making the weeping angel enemies more frustrating than frightening.
