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.

What players say

Players describe a VR walking simulator focused on exploring a cave system by possessing creatures to solve puzzles. They consistently say the game is beautiful but lacks clear guidance on what to do, often causing frustration. Some have trouble with Valve Index controllers, and reviews note a small learning curve for the controls.
