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

Wandering through a quiet space station gallery, calmly observing famous Finnish paintings in virtual reality.

What players say

Players say this is a short VR art gallery, not a game, taking about 10 minutes to see 20-25 artworks across three locations. Opinions split on whether charging for others' art is problematic, and some note the scans and environment look basic.
