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, immersive VR experience where you explore a spooky mansion and solve puzzles while trying to keep your sanity.

What players say

Players enjoy the creepy haunted mansion atmosphere and find it a good entry-level VR horror experience, but note it is very short at around two hours. Controls are frequently described as clunky, especially for non-Vive headsets, and the pacing is slow with some confusing puzzles.
