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

You feel trapped and panicked in a tight coffin, racing against time to solve puzzles before your oxygen runs out.

What players say

Players describe a claustrophobic coffin escape that is very short, around 15 to 30 minutes, with easy puzzles and jumpscares. However, many report that motion controllers do not work properly and the game feels like a low-effort mobile VR port, while reviews and forum posts suggest the developer was abandoned and accused of scamming.
