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 methodical puzzle-solving experience in a room-scaled virtual space where you explore and manipulate objects to escape a confined basement.

What players say

Players say it is a short but well-crafted VR escape room with logical puzzles. The biggest complaint is the price, as most finish it in 20 minutes to an hour. Some find the interactions and physics wobbly, and a few puzzle solutions feel obtuse.
