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 explore a crime scene in VR, using a microscope tool to examine tiny clues while solving a murder mystery with a darkly comedic and educational tone.

What players say

Players describe it as a very short, free VR experience from a university team where you scan a photogrammetry apartment for clues to a murder. The lack of interactivity and limited deduction frustrates some, while others appreciate the atmosphere and originality for the price.
