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 tender, short VR experience where you gently interact with a miniature diorama to uncover a love story about overcoming fear of change.

What players say

Players describe The Line as a short, beautiful diorama-like love story told through minimal interactions like pulling levers. The 15-minute runtime is widely noted, with many saying it works well as a gentle introduction to VR but is best bought on sale.
