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

The game offers a calm, exploratory VR adventure where you solve puzzles by casting spells with runes, all set in a gentle magical world after a storm.

What players say

Players praise the spell-drawing mechanic and peaceful exploration without combat, calling it a long VR puzzle adventure at 7-10 hours. The developer is notably active with community feedback. However, several players report that the lack of snap turning causes motion sickness, with no fix in sight.
