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, oppressive exploration through a desolate town, piecing together a dark family secret while being hunted by an unseen threat.

What players say

Players describe it as a budget Slender Man clone in VR, with a single map where you collect blue orbs using a camcorder that drains batteries. Reviews are split, some call it terrifying and well made, others say the AI is dumb and the forest is empty.
