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 frantic multiplayer VR party game with zany races, bonkers minigames, and a hyper-competitive but silly atmosphere.

What players say

Players enjoy Rival Rides as a chaotic VR party game with friends, especially the Foodland Court minigame. However, some call it janky and buggy, saying it is not ready for prime time, while others praise its potential. The game eventually went free to play after starting at a high price.
