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 step into the operator's seat and methodically learn the controls of massive construction cranes through focused, hands-on tasks that demand precision and risk awareness.

What players say

Players say this is a short demo with a single mission, not a full simulator. Crane controls cannot be rebound, frustrating users with real-world experience, and the physics feel off. A few VR users note it works with Valve Index, but most agree it is overpriced for the content.
