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 VR horror experience that blends jump scares with folkloric storytelling, offering a creepy but sometimes cozy encounter with mythic characters.

What players say

Players describe a very short VR horror with good atmosphere but call it unfinished, offering only one of two planned chapters. The controls are widely criticized, especially the lack of strafing, and the difficulty spikes from an overly fast pursuer frustrate many. Some call it an asset flip, though others appreciate the visuals.
