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 fast-paced, physics-driven VR shooter that balances tense combat with atmospheric exploration and violent sci-fi horror.

What players say

Players compare it to Half-Life and Portal, praising its weird humor and satisfying gunplay. The campaign is short at around three to four hours, and some bosses can be buggy, with one softlock reported as never fixed. There is a consensus that the sequel is better.
