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 peacefully row a boat on a scenic mountain lake, fishing at your own pace while soaking in the tranquil environment.

What players say

Players call it the best VR fishing game for its relaxing atmosphere and simple hook-and-reel gameplay, but many wish there were more locations and deeper variety. Some find the casting awkward and the physics janky, while others say it scratches a real fishing itch.
