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

You wave a crystal wand to capture playful ghosts and dodge their pranks while exploring colourful, magical locales with a cheerful band of mages.

What players say

Players say it is a short, simple VR game that channels Ghostbusters or Luigi's Mansion and works well for kids. Opinions split: some find it fun for a few minutes, others note the rooms feel copy-pasted and the time limit is restrictive.
