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 slow-burn haunted mansion experience where you must solve puzzles while evading ghostly threats in flickering torchlight.

What players say

Players praise the scary atmosphere and torch-as-timer mechanic but are split on controls: VR controllers often don't work, leaving some to play with mouse and keyboard or Xbox pad. Many report game-breaking bugs and say the playtime is too short for the $20 price tag.
