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

Playing feels like stepping into a Star Wars-themed arcade where you can physically lean into the table, trigger mini-games, and unlock collectibles in a cozy virtual den.

What players say

Players are nearly unanimous that VR controllers do not work, especially on Quest 3 and Pico 4, forcing use of an Xbox gamepad. Those who get past the setup praise the pinball tables and atmosphere, but call the graphics blurry and condemn the developers for never fixing the controller support, leaving many unwilling to recommend it at full price.
