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 fast-paced VR arcade game where you dodge obstacles and your own tail while chasing orbs.

What players say

Players describe it as a tech demo with only one environment to collect orbs, comparing it to Tron light cycles in 3D. The movement mechanic is interesting but the controls feel oversized, and there is no multiplayer.
