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 a cozy virtual forge where shaping metal and wood feels satisfying and magical, with gentle guidance and a steady rhythm of crafting.

What players say
Players praise the core idea of VR blacksmithing but find it buried under clunky controls, lag, and bugs. Vive and Rift users report being unable to play at all, and others mention repetitive orders, unclear sharpness detection, and no auto-save. Some find the crafting satisfying once they grasp it, while many say it feels abandoned early in its life.
