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 strap on a VR headset and tear down snowy mountains at crushing speed, requiring precise control and quick reflexes to master the terrain.

What players say

Players agree this VR skiing game has been abandoned in early access with no updates for years. Controls feel unresponsive, calibration is finicky, and several campaign levels are unbeatable due to bugs. Those who push past the jank find the flips and speed thrilling, but even they warn it is unfinished.
