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 comedic VR romp where you control a giant squid smashing through wooden ships and armies with a goofy sense of humour.

What players say

Players praise the cheap price and fun workout, but many say it gets repetitive after a few minutes. The tentacle physics and swimming motion feel satisfying to learn, though controlling the tentacles as whips is tricky. Opinions split on whether it is a great family arcade game or just boring, and some report crashes or nausea with movement.
