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 slow-paced, cheerful VR romp through cartoony worlds, with simple platforming and puzzles in a bright, friendly fantasy setting.

What players say

Players call it a solid collect-a-thon platformer that stands out in early VR, often comparing it to Mario 64 and Banjo-Kazooie. They love the content length for the price but split on VR integration, with many preferring a gamepad over motion controls. Voice acting and some collision bugs draw complaints.
