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 tense, hardcore VR experience where you drift through a silent, abandoned space station, racing against oxygen depletion with precise, six-degrees-of-freedom movement and puzzle-solving.

What players say

Players report the game is effectively broken, with many unable to get past the tutorial or even launch it. The developers have confirmed they are no longer supporting it. Those who can play describe heavy motion sickness, poor controller support, and an abrupt ending. A few players enjoyed the zero-g physics and difficulty.
