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

Swinging your arms to run and climb through an obstacle course feels physically engaging and fluid, with a focus on speed and low motion sickness.

What players say

Players praise the arm-swing locomotion and feel it is a fun proof of concept. The core movement is solid, but reviewers widely agree the game lacks content and polish. It works as a workout, though some report motion sickness.
