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 tense but comedic virtual reality escape room where you outwit a mad scientist with gadgets and disguises, each puzzle a life-or-death spy thriller.

What players say
Players love the opening sequences and say the puzzles are the hardest in the series. Some find the controls buggy and the campaign short. Achievements involving speed runs are considered frustrating.
