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 slow, thoughtful VR exploration where you float objects around to solve puzzles in a quiet, magical tower.

What players say

Players praise the clever use of impossible spaces and true roomscale movement, but warn that a 10x10 foot space and a wireless headset are required. The game has no save system and takes about an hour to complete. Some note it is a student project from Breda University and lacks polish.
