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 gentle, hands-on creative experience where you paint folk patterns in a calm virtual space at your own pace.

What players say

Players describe it as a free VR experience more than a game, focused on exploring Russian folk art styles through simple puzzles and pattern matching. The voiceover is Russian-only with English subtitles, performance is poor even on high-end GPUs like the RTX 4070, and it does not work with HTC Vive controllers. Reviews split on whether it is a charming cultural tour or a shallow tech demo.
