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 playful VR nostalgia trip where you hop between retro-styled games and a cartoonish human world, full of lighthearted adventure and references to 90s gaming.

What players say

Players praise the creative game-within-a-game concept and genuine 90s nostalgia, calling it a fun and humorous VR experience. However, some report repeated control issues (broken jump button on Index, left-handed mode absent, Virtual Desktop incompatibility with Quest 3 that the devs have not fixed), and a few find the gameplay grows repetitive.
