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.

What players say

Players say Sopwith VR is a simple free arcade dogfighter that recaptures the feel of the 1980s original, but the controls are very sensitive and many report motion sickness. The game has been in early access since 2018 and appears abandoned, with reviews citing crashes when using the top gun and no updates for years.
