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

Building whimsical, over-the-top Rube Goldberg machines feels like directing a chaotic but satisfying science experiment in VR.

What players say

Players say this VR puzzle game has predetermined snap points that remove the freedom of the original series, making puzzles too easy and short. A torture-device level with a cute pony shocks many. Performance bugs and tracking problems are common, though some enjoy the quirky narrator and story.
