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 gentle, meditative VR experience where you sit back, listen to soothing music, and peacefully gaze at a starry sky while learning about constellations.

What players say

Players see this as a relaxing VR planetarium with constellation stories, but the lack of location or time controls and minimal interactivity disappoint many. Reviews are mixed: some enjoy the educational atmosphere, while others find it overpriced for what feels like a pseudo-interactive video.
