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 tinker with virtual electronic components at your own pace, learning through trial and error in a calm, hands-on sandbox.

What players say

Players praise the educational value for learning electronics safely in VR, but development stopped in 2020 while the game remains in early access. Many want more components and challenges, and some find the teleport-only movement limiting or the tutorials unclear for beginners.
