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

Navigating a dark, procedurally generated dungeon with only a faint light, relying on stealth and nerve to avoid horrors and escape.

What players say

Players consistently call this one of the scariest VR horror games, with fear coming from atmosphere and sound design rather than cheap jumpscares. A minority find it boring or buggy with finicky door and item interactions, and the continuous movement option can cause nausea.
