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 slow, vulnerable drift through surreal dreamscapes that feel both intimate and disorienting.

What players say

Players describe this as a free collection of five short, passive VR nightmares where you only look around and cannot move. Most call it 8 to 10 minutes long and worth a download for the price, though the experience varies: one scene has effective jump scares while the others focus on tension and atmosphere. A few users report the dirt road scene crashes their headset.
