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 playful, physics-driven sandbox where you whack ball people around a tennis court, switching sides in a goofy, meme-like rhythm.

What players say

Players are split: some love the quirky premise and responsive VR tennis, but many more warn that the game is shallow and overpriced. There are no instructions, no menus, no scoring system, and only one environment, so most run out of things to do within minutes. Longtime players say development stalled, some also note that fast swings cause the racket to pass through the ball.
