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 explore a lush, mythologically inspired forest, collecting artifacts and battling ancient beings in a cartoon-styled adventure that feels like a guided folklore journey.

What players say

Players praise the original Brazilian-inspired setting but say the VR adventure is held back by bugs, including finicky teleport controls that cause accidental moves, motion sickness from canoe sections, and saves that reset progress. The demo is recommended before buying.
