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 gentle, slow-paced VR walk through beautifully crafted painted scenes, accompanied by ambient sounds, telling a heartwarming story of a girl finding home.

What players say

Players call it a free VR art experience rather than a game, praising the beautiful Tilt Brush visuals but noting it is very short and has little to no interactivity or gameplay loops.
