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 serene free-flight through procedurally generated fractal landscapes, where you drift to calming music with no goals beyond losing yourself in the view.

What players say

Players call it more of a trippy art experience than a real game. The VR mode causes heavy motion sickness for some, controls are janky, and interest fades after 10 to 30 minutes. Views split on whether its meditative or disappointing.
