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, contemplative float through the universe's scales, pairing factual wonder with a calm, artistic aura.

What players say

Players say it is a short, humbling VR journey across scales from the multiverse to subatomic particles. It is more an interactive visualization than a game, with linear exploration and collectible objects that each offer brief educational text. Some wish the scale comparisons allowed side-by-side views, and the length feels too short for the full price.
