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 guide a customizable creature through an alien underwater world, hunting smaller prey and fleeing larger predators using precise motion controls, with a focus on growth and evolution.

What players say

Players call it a VR tribute to Spore's cell stage that is fun and addictive for about an hour. The creature customization is the highlight. However many cannot play past the loading screen on Valve Index, a bug that has persisted for years.
