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 meditative puzzle experience that gently unfolds across abstract arenas, using digging and flagging to explore a metaphorical journey.

What players say

Players describe it as a free, VR take on Minesweeper where you clear cubes with shovel and flag hands. The campaign has 21 levels in 7 arenas, but some players find the visuals and design lacking polish.
