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

Players walk through a seamless, self-overlapping VR maze while friends guide them from outside, creating a shared, exploratory challenge.

What players say

Players love the non-Euclidean maze that lets them walk naturally in place, but everyone agrees the single short maze kills replayability. The required 2.5x2.5 meter play area is a hard barrier: those with smaller spaces find it unplayable. It works well as a cooperative experience with one person in VR and another guiding from the screen.
