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

An ominous virtual reality horror experience where you defend against an insidious system daemon.

What players say

Players describe it as a VR take on Slender, tasking you with finding eight cubes while an AI stalks you. Its ASCII art style gets praise, but many say the content is too short and the normal price feels too high.
