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 arena shooter where players blast through destructible environments and embrace absurd, procedurally-decided disputes.

What players say

Players praise the Tron-like aesthetic and the sliding and flying controls, but most never find an online match because the multiplayer is dead. The game has only one arena and no bots, leaving early adopters split on recommending it.
