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 craft a sprawling train network in virtual reality, feeling a tactile calm as you snap together tracks and then ride your own creation.

What players say

Players love reliving childhood with wooden train tracks in VR, calling it a relaxing and creative sandbox. However, the save function often corrupts and the UFO stealing track pieces frustrates some. Players also note limited objects and environments, with hopes for more updates.
