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 curious, guided tour through virtual history and geography that feels more like exploring a museum than playing a game.

What players say

Players see this as a free VR museum meant for middle schoolers, with a lot of exhibits but poor graphics and pixelated textures. The teleport navigation works okay, but the multiplayer is empty and some videos don't play. It is best as a one-hour demo of educational VR potential.
