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 bizarre, machine-curated cloud of sounds, plucking and arranging audio morsels into a custom drum kit.

What players say

Players describe it as a free VR toy built from Freesound.org samples, not a game. Some enjoy exploring and mixing sounds, but many note zero instructions or tutorial, and no meaningful game mechanics. It works on Vive and Index, though Oculus Touch users report minor issues.
