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 disorienting, tense VR experience where you piece together fragmented memories in a surreal, abandoned skyscraper.

What players say

Players praise the visuals, atmosphere, and voice acting, and say later patches fixed much of the rough launch. Still, many complain of heavy performance demands, and a large group finds progression opaque, leaving them wandering rooms with few clues and dying to surprise monsters. Players split on whether the puzzles are intriguing or frustrating.
