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 slow, educational stroll through historical reconstructions of Versailles, paced for exploration and observation rather than action.

What players say

Players say this is more a narrated VR tour than a game, with two short scenes that last about half an hour. The narration is praised, but performance is poor even on strong hardware, the graphics are dated, and there is no free exploration or meaningful interaction. People compare it unfavorably to the 1990s game Versailles 1685.
