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 contemplative and immersive puzzle journey through a monochrome underworld, driven by story and atmosphere.

What players say

Players agree it is a short, story-driven VR experience with beautiful black-and-white graphics. Reviews split on the boat controls and timed climbing sections, and several note poor support for Index controllers. Players call it an atmospheric walking simulator with basic puzzles.
