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 short, immersive VR adventure that combines Egyptian archaeology puzzle-solving with cautious exploration and some tense encounters with desert creatures.

What players say

Players describe Unknown Pharaoh as a short but atmospheric pyramid exploration game that delivers genuine scares. It relies on full locomotion and arm-swinging, with no teleportation, which gives many people motion sickness. The puzzles start simple and get slightly harder, while the textures are flat and clipping bugs are common.
