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 lean and tilt to ski down a mountain at speed, dodging obstacles for leaderboard times.

What players say

Players are split: some call it a straightforward VR skiing toy with card drops, others label it an asset flip that jacks up the price to appear steeply discounted. A few enjoy the simple downhill coin collection, but several accuse the developer of churning out cheap games to trick buyers.
