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 slow-paced, immersive VR mystery where you explore a whimsical yet sinister world, solving puzzles with deliberate roomscale interactions.

What players say

Players appreciate the atmosphere and story but warn the game shows its age, especially with teleport-only movement and no continuous locomotion. The roughly 90-minute length and simple puzzles are praised by some but seen as too shallow by others, and the final puzzle frustrates many.
