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 slow-paced, thoughtful adventure game that feels like solving mysteries in a strange and quiet world.

What players say

Players praise the Black Mirror-style story and the unique VR headset mechanic, but sentiment is split by an unmarked, graphic animal death that shocks many. Reviews also note janky combat, pacing that drags in the final hours, and puzzles that feel like padding.
