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 sweetly retro VR dance-off where you follow the beat and strike poses to save the world from aliens in a colorful, family-friendly spectacle.

What players say

Players adore dancing alongside Ulala in VR, saying it captures the spirit of the original series and brings genuine joy, but nearly everyone calls it painfully short, four levels that take under two hours, and overpriced. Tracking has occasional jank, and opinions split on value: long-time fans call it a must-play on sale while newcomers are warned to start with the flat games.
