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 physically intense arcade sports game where you swing paddles to smash a glowing ball in a neon VR arena.

What players say

Players are split on HoloBall. Some call it a great workout and a sport-like VR experience they return to, while others report broken ball physics and the ball clipping through the racket, especially at higher difficulties. There is also criticism of constant controller vibrations and a lack of training or replay features.
