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 slowly unraveling psychological horror experience that blends childhood nostalgia with a creeping sense of dread as a seemingly innocent retro game turns sinister.

What players say

Players describe Duck Season as a slow-burn VR horror that starts as repetitive duck shooting before turning unsettling. The shotgun handling feels janky and tiring. It connects to Boneworks and does not have full physics interaction. Some find the horror underutilized until the ending.
