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.

What players say

Players praise the physics and VR immersion, especially the dark lighting where the ball is the only light source, but many report the ball repeatedly gets stuck in the same spot. The developer has not responded, leading to refunds. There is only one table, and players are split on whether the layout is engaging or boring.
