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 brawler where you slash and block against fantasy monsters in an ancient cursed land.

What players say

Players call the combat fun and the gladiator atmosphere convincing, but many say the game feels empty, buggy, or fails to work on some VR headsets.
