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 calmly mix potions in a dusty, mystical frontier town, surrounded by a quiet, slightly surreal atmosphere.

What players say

Players praise the polished potion brewing and spooky art style in this free VR title, but nearly everyone agrees it is short and lacks a replay mode. Several reviewers note the game does not save progress, forcing restarts. The required 3x3m playspace is controversial, with some completing it in smaller areas.
