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 tense, atmospheric first-person hide-and-sneak game where you creep through an abandoned farmhouse, evading creepy dolls in a black-and-white film style.

What players say

Players report the game is atmospheric but held back by bugs, crashes, and a brief length of around an hour or two. Sentiment splits on whether the jump scares deliver, and some note an odd technical issue where the game opens SteamVR despite not being a VR title.
