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 VR bundle that mixes fast-paced, arcade-style diamond collecting on a precarious plank with an intense, fear-inducing real-world experience designed to simulate dangerous sensations without physical risk.

What players say

Players say the base cave walk is extremely short and barely qualifies as a tech demo, though an arcade log-dodging mode added by the developer makes it more suited for parties. Several compare it unfavorably to Richie's Plank Experience, and at least one reviewer notes the obvious omission of bats.
