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

You float through a photorealistic cosmos while a calm narrator explains the universe’s scale, making you feel both tiny and wonderstruck.

What players say

Players call it a guided VR tour of the solar system and beyond, running about 30 minutes. The Chinese voiceover is praised but some find the visuals dated and flat. Performance complaints appear for high-end headsets, and a few cannot start the game at all.
