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 gentle, narrated VR story where you explore a dark but calm, family-friendly zombie world at a leisurely pace.

What players say

Players call it a short, beautiful VR story with a Tim Burton style, not a game. They praise the stop-motion-like visuals and atmosphere, but warn it is non-interactive and recommend a swivel chair. Opinions split on value: some call it mind-blowing, others find it too short and pricey.
