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 familiar puzzle game adapted for VR, where you poke probes and plant flags in a 3D field at a deliberate, methodical pace.

What players say

Players say it is exactly Minesweeper in VR with no extras, but the novelty fades because of awkward controls, no in-game tutorial, and limited locomotion. Oculus users report poor compatibility and bugs, while the game also has a spelling error on the win screen.
