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, atmospheric survival horror set in a frozen wasteland, where you search for your twin while navigating betrayal and mutated researchers in VR.

What players say

Players are split on this VR horror game. Many praise the atmosphere and monster design, especially for Lovecraft fans, but nearly everyone reports major bugs, janky controls, and frustrating UI. The constant patches suggest an unfinished product, and those on Valve Index or who want seated play find it nearly unplayable. The game is more of a work in progress than a complete experience.
