Demo


Walkthrough

Players commence their experience in augmented reality (AR) by employing a laser pointer to interact with their virtual cat. Through simple pointing gestures, players engage in an entertaining chase game, as the virtual cat follows the laser's trajectory endlessly.

As gameplay progresses, players encounter a captivating portal that transports them and their virtual companion into the virtual reality (VR) realm. Fascinated by their cat's curiosity, players and their virtual pet embark on an exploration of a visually stunning world characterized by floating islands, enveloped in mist, and illuminated by the presence of auroras.

Upon arrival, the cat displays signs of apprehension in this unfamiliar environment, pacing nervously in circles on an isolated island. To facilitate their return to reality, players must utilize their laser pointer to strategically create portals along the cat's path, guiding it back to the real world. This action also ensures their own safe return, allowing for continued exploration together.

With each return to reality, players have the opportunity to once again utilize their laser pointer, initiating an ongoing journey alongside their virtual cat companion.
