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

Feels like a very realistic table tennis match in VR, where every spin and kill shot responds exactly as you expect.

What players say

Players are split on the physics, with some calling it the most realistic spin in VR ping pong and others calling it terrible. Early builds lacked basic features like table reorientation, which frustrated some, but later updates addressed major bugs.
