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 virtual reality adventure that mixes piloting, driving, puzzle-solving, and shooting on a mysterious Mars.

What players say

Players describe this as a short, linear interactive story rather than a game, taking about 90 minutes to two hours. It has good visuals but suffers from teleport-only movement, poor voice acting, and a slow start. The game received no updates since release and development appears abandoned.
