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

You smash and destroy colorful objects in a playful, physics-driven sandbox to unwind and have fun.

What players say

Players enjoy smashing things in VR but find the early access short, with only 6 levels available. Many report bugs with door interaction and smooth locomotion, and long-time players note development stalled years ago.
