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 serene yet challenging first-person grappling experience where you swing and soar through vast, ancient ruins at your own pace.

What players say

Players praise the grappling hook swinging as the best part, making them feel like Spider-Man. Some report it crashes on launch or call it abandonware, while others call it an early VR classic with great level design. The game is short, and many recommend the sequel for more content.
