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 deliberate and physically realistic curling simulation that requires careful locomotion and precise timing for stone throws.

What players say

Players love having a VR curling sim, especially those who can't play in real life. The stone physics and sweeping feel satisfying, but controller and movement setup frustrates some to the point of unplayability. Reviews are split: many call it the best curling game around, while others find the UI and trackpad controls broken.
