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 disorienting and tense survival horror experience that feels like waking up trapped in a dark, violent nightmare.

What players say

Players say this free VR horror game is very short, around 15 minutes, and was made by students in 10 weeks. It has a scary atmosphere but some find the controls clunky and performance inconsistent.
