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

Standing in a godly realm, you pull back your bow with real hand motions while placing mythological towers, creating a calm but reactive flow of aiming and strategic planning.

What players say

Players praise the blend of tower defense and archery in VR, noting that charging shots for extra damage and teleporting between towers adds strategy. They mention it gives arms a workout, though looking down for long periods causes neck strain. Reviews call it promising but early in development.
