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 richly atmospheric VR puzzle adventure that feels like stepping into a mysterious, darkly fantastical 80s sci-fi film, with deliberate exploration and thoughtful interaction at its core.

What players say

Players explore a mysterious alien world with puzzles and telekinesis, but movement is limited to teleportation. Opinions split on the puzzles and whether the sister's dialogue is cloying. A few reviewers note the game received no fixes after release.
