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 frantic, tactile VR shooter that blends realistic gunplay with chaotic, community-driven modes and proximity chat.

What players say

Players are split on Pavlov. Long-time fans say development stalled and mods broke after crossplay with PlayStation and the switch to mod.io, while a handful of recent reviews still praise the gun handling and Trouble in Terrorist Town mode. The player count is low and performance issues plague some headsets.
