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.

A serene and awe-inspiring virtual climb through breathtaking, photo-realistic scenery at a contemplative, deliberate pace.

What players say

Players say it is more of a short, cinematic VR experience than a game, with breathtaking visuals that capture the scale of Everest. It lasts about 30 minutes to an hour for the main climb, with a god mode for free exploration, but some find it too brief and limited compared to free alternatives like Google Earth VR, and a few report crashes or control bugs.
