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

You are trapped in a seemingly ordinary room, solving puzzles and searching for hidden objects to escape, with an underlying sense that nothing is quite as it appears.

What players say

Players are split on The Murder Room VR. Some enjoy the solid escape room puzzles and room-scale feel, but many report motion sickness, clipping bugs, and a short length of under an hour. Critics say the trailer shows more content than the final game, and the movement system causes nausea for some.
