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.

a tense and deliberate stealth experience in medieval settings, demanding patience and precision in VR.

What players say

Players consistently compare Unknightly to the Thief series, praising its stealth mechanics like climbing and distracting guards. However, most agree development has been abandoned since 2020, leaving only about two hours of content and a store page that overpromises. Performance problems and a stamina system that splits the player base add to the disappointment.
