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, psychological VR narrative where you must carry out grim judgments on authority's orders, exploring guilt and compliance.

What players say

Players say this is a roughly one-hour VR experience about being an executioner, with good voice acting and an unusual colorblind art style. The core loop is repetitive, and disobeying orders forces a full replay with no skip option. Reviews are split on whether the moral dilemmas justify the short run time.
