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 slowly explore a cursed house in VR, solving puzzles while facing lurking terror and piecing together dark secrets.

What players say

Players say this VR horror is extremely short, taking 20 to 40 minutes, with great graphics and a tense atmosphere. It has a few effective jump scares and simple puzzles, but object interaction can be glitchy. Most agree it is only worth buying on sale.
