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

You explore a haunted theater in VR, slowly piecing together clues through conversations and item collection, with a tense, deliberate pace that shifts focus from supernatural frights to a more unsettling truth.

What players say

Players are split: some find the game broken at launch, with VR positioning bugs and unplayable states, while others enjoy its spooky atmosphere and funny NPC interactions after pushing past a confusing first level. The game is short and visually rough.
