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 seated, atmospheric VR journey that feels like being enveloped in a dark, introspective theater piece where you observe rather than control

What players say
Players describe Chained as a VR-only animated take on A Christmas Carol that lasts about 20 minutes and is more a theatrical monologue than a game. Many report crashes at the same scene and poor performance even on strong hardware, while others note the visuals are too dark to make out details and the experience lacks subtitles or any settings menu.
