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 arcade shooter with cartoony ghosts and monsters, where you blast through waves in pixelated style, slow time, and snatch coins in local multiplayer chaos.

What players say

Players say local multiplayer is the highlight, though screen players quickly dominate. The single-player is fun in short bursts, with fast action and a memorable first boss. Some note the small file size and find VR text hard to read.
