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

A fast-paced VR endurance test where you dodge clockwork obstacles with your gaze to upbeat music.

What players say

Players warn that the retry button is broken, forcing manual restarts, and call the VR track runner shovelware with very limited content. A few find the minimalist visuals and concept attractive, but the consensus is that it barely works.
