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 VR action-adventure platformer where you fly a hovercraft, mine gems, battle creatures, solve puzzles, and compete for high scores.

What players say

Players compare Gem Hunter to Super Mario 64 in VR, piloting a hovercart with jumpjets. The controls are solid and the game has a nostalgic feel, but reviews split on motion sickness: some say it sets off in seconds, others report no issues. Levels feel empty to some, though the amount of content is praised for the price.
