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.

What players say

Players describe a free VR Christmas wave shooter where you play as Santa fighting robot elves, but many report black screens on launch and buggy controls, especially on Knuckles controllers. Those who get it running find it fun for a few hours but too easy and lacking variety, though the difficulty selector helps.
