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 archery game where time moves unusually, demanding quick reflexes and precision against robotic foes in a story-driven, atmospheric combat experience.

What players say

Players compare it to Superhot with bows, but many find the bow mechanics janky, the hand angle off, and the lack of VR settings like height adjustment or controller turning makes it unplayable. The campaign is very short, around an hour, and content is barebones. Some players enjoy it despite these issues, calling it a fun and de-stressing experience.
