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, immersive VR experience where you navigate the world from a wheelchair, guided by a real person's frank and darkly humorous narration about accessibility.

What players say

Players praise the unique wheelchair controls and the workout it provides, but many suffer motion sickness especially on Vive headsets. Difficulty is compared to Dark Souls, and reviews split on whether the controls are immersive or clumsy. Most buy it for charity and find the tone unexpectedly touching.
