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 serene VR hot-air balloon ride offering leisurely, real-world aerial views of Vladivostok and the Primorye region, with a calm, contemplative pace.

What players say

Players are split: some enjoy a free virtual tour of Russian landscapes, but most say it is broken and unfinished. The binoculars consistently fail, showing a black void, and the controls are confusing. The download is over 25 GB for what feels like a static VR viewer, and with no updates in a long time, players call it abandoned.
