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 navigate a dark labyrinth in VR with only Ariadne's voice guiding you, creating a tense and immersive psychological horror experience.

What players say

Players say Theseus is a short, linear third-person VR experience that feels more like a cinematic walking simulator than a full game. The highlight is the atmospheric encounter with the Minotaur, but the gameplay is simple and lacks challenge, with some finding the forced-pace sequences frustrating.
