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 guide a control rod along a track to a rhythm, trying not to touch the sides, aiming to reach the goal before time runs out.

What players say

Players say The Wire is a simple VR puzzle game that requires a steady hand and at least 3 meters of room, which many lack. The game is broken on the Valve Index with a black screen, and a few players report wrist strain from the constant controlled movement.
