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.

You build and manage a mall at a leisurely pace, earning rewards through simple minigames and watching your small town gradually thrive.

What players say

Players say Mall Town is a relaxing VR mall manager with mini games, but it is short, taking about an hour to finish, and feels unfinished with repeating mini games and bugs like characters getting stuck. Some cannot play due to room scale problems, and players are split on whether its charm outweighs the lack of content.
