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 VR game that feels like a steady-handed, precise balancing act through colourful, obstacle-filled courses.

What players say

Players describe Hoop Route as a VR version of the classic hot-wire toy, extremely challenging and often frustrating, with split opinions on whether the difficulty is fair or just punishing. Many note it works as a test for VR tracking and has no background music.
