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

An active, physically immersive puzzle experience that feels like you are genuinely present in the environment.

What players say

Players praise the clever room-scale puzzles and physical challenges, calling it one of the better early VR titles despite its indie roughness. Some find it boring and plagued by clumsy teleportation and motion sickness in menus, while others say it is a bargain that justifies its price. The game takes 4 to 5 hours to complete, and its story is considered weak.
