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, lonely struggle for survival in a dark zombie-infested mountain, where every tool must be crafted and every move matters.

What players say

Players consistently call this a short one-hour VR experience that feels more like a demo. The controls are rough, with snap turning only and clunky reloading, and textures are notably low resolution. At the same time, the low price earns patience, and some fans enjoy the silly horror despite its flaws.
