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 tower defense game where you actively cast spells and dodge attacks as a wizard in virtual reality.

What players say

Players call it a competent but unexceptional magic-based wave shooter. Many say spells feel like guns and most are not worth using. Graphics and setting get praise, but reviewers split on whether it is fun enough to buy at full price.
