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

Players navigate an abandoned school at night, relying on VR to interact with decaying objects and solve puzzles under a constant sense of unease.

What players say

Players praise the atmosphere and visuals but are sharply divided. Many say the game is extremely short (roughly 5 minutes per run) and the controls are poorly designed, especially for non-HTC headsets. Technical problems, including crashes on newer systems, are common and require a workaround. The frequent jump scares are criticized for being repetitive and ineffective.
