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 weirdly self-aware VR soccer game that feels like a chaotic, absurdist physical comedy where you're constantly battling the controls and exploding joke-physics.

What players say

Players praise it as a VR gem that feels like Portal meets soccer, with satisfying head-controlled physics and hilarious dystopian humor. They note it is surprisingly polished but needs practice, with two specific difficulty spikes on levels 21 and 31. Some players mention the floating-height issue and wish for separate save slots for multiple players.
