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 claustrophobic VR horror where you solve puzzles in a spaceship while grappling with the creeping dread of shared nightmares.

What players say

Players praise the atmosphere and jumpscares but find the 2-hour campaign too short for the $20 price. They report frequent bugs, crashes, and janky controls, especially with the rivet gun and grabbing objects.
