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 recommend it with friends for a few scary evenings, but call it rough around the edges. They describe an alien that one-shots you, a resurrection mechanic that sets it apart from similar games, and praise the devs for patching bugs through early 2025. Some players find the movement or VR controls clunky.
