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 frantic, high-intensity VR shooter where you dodge bullets, blast enemies, and ride cranes through a short but relentless arcade-style escape.

What players say

Players compare this to Bullet Sorrow but find it more barebones. It is an arcade shooter with fixed teleport points between waves, no cover system, and only a shotgun and rifle. The game is very short at around 15 minutes, and there are no checkpoints so death means restarting. Opinions split on value for the low price.
