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 methodical VR dungeon crawler where you physically dodge attacks in first-person turn-based battles while exploring procedurally generated towers from a god-like perspective.

What players say

Players praise Arcaxer for making turn-based combat work in VR through physically dodging attacks and punching to cast spells, though they split on the dungeon design, calling the floors samey and empty. The difficulty curve is described as weird, with most of the game easy but some bosses extremely challenging, and Oculus Quest controller calibration frustrates some.
