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

Exploring a reconstructed ancient Roman city in VR feels like a calm, educational stroll through history, letting you observe and learn at your own pace.

What players say

Players describe it as a free virtual tour of an ancient French city rather than a game. Views on performance are mixed, with some having technical issues on Vive and Meta Quest 2. The narration and text are French-only, which limits accessibility.
