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 an abandoned facility at your own pace, guided by a comforting AI companion, solving puzzles to uncover a somber story.

What players say

Players praise Anderson's smooth VR movement options and considerate design for nausea-prone users, but reviews are split on polish. Some call it a fun, short escape-room puzzle game with good atmosphere and sound, while others report bugs, poor performance, and clunky item interaction that hurt the experience. The developer is noted as responsive and actively updating.
