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

You sync your movements and shots to a pounding metal soundtrack, unlocking a trance-like flow state as you blast through hellish arenas in full VR.

What players say

Players are split on this VR port. Some say it works well with calibration adjustments and recommend it, but many others report forced tunnel vision, awkward controls, and motion sickness risks. The consensus is that the original flatscreen game is superior, though a few find the VR version even more engaging.
