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 tense, atmospheric survival game where you navigate a branching narrative through a surreal facility, hampered by bugs and incomplete development.

What players say

Players describe a VR horror game that was sold for years in early access, then abandoned when the developer lost the project files and made it free. Some see a playable SCP game with a complete survival mode ending, but many call it an unfinished tech demo too dark to navigate. Reviews split on whether the game is worth a look now that it costs nothing.
