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 slow, reflective VR journey through a circular dream world where you solve puzzles by observing and interacting with a magical, fairy-tale environment.

What players say
Players describe this as a short, surreal VR experience more akin to an art installation than a puzzle game. They note it has very few interactions, two very similar paths, and can be completed in under ten minutes. Some find it beautiful and unsettling, while others are confused by its lack of clear gameplay.
