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

Reaching out to grab physical controls in VR makes flying feel tactile and immediate.

What players say

Players call it a simple, affordable VR flight sim, but many note motion sickness, blurry textures, and no joystick support. Some find the world empty and controls frustrating, while others enjoy the core flying experience for the price.
