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 loose, high-speed playground where you zip and glide across open landscapes with little friction or consequence.

What players say

Players call Blueshift a cancelled early access VR tech demo with little to do beyond flying around. The developer abandoned it years ago, so there is no multiplayer or shooting despite hints in the menus. A few find the core flight physics fun and even relaxing, but most say it lacks content and has no comfort options, causing motion sickness.
