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 tense, hands-on survival simulator where every action—from scavenging debris to managing oxygen—feels physical and deliberate in zero gravity VR.

What players say

Players love the zero-g space survival concept and the co-op where a second player controls a drone on PC, but development stopped early, leaving bugs unfixed, movement janky, and the game feeling abandoned. Reviews warn of a punishing early loop and recommend buying only on deep sale.
