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

Trapped in a wheelchair, you creep through dim, claustrophobic corridors while evading hostile dolls and piecing together a mysterious hotel's grim past.

What players say

Players praise the eerie atmosphere and stunning visuals, often citing Bioshock vibes. The wheelchair-based movement is unique but divisive, with some loving the immersion and others finding it clunky or physically uncomfortable. Index controller support was problematic at launch but improved with updates. Performance can be demanding, and a few reviewers report motion sickness.
