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

Lining up putts and driving from the tee feels deliberate and immersive, as you navigate procedurally generated courses from your own living room.

What players say

Players praise the realistic golf simulation but overwhelmingly warn that the game has been abandoned by its developers for years, meaning no bug fixes, no new features, and no support. Many report controller setup hassles, especially with newer headsets, and some find putting too fast or the yardage inaccurate.
