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.

A methodical, turn-based strategy game experienced through VR with a grim yet whimsical fantasy tone.

What players say

Players praise Quar as a satisfying turn-based strategy game that brings a tabletop feel to VR, letting you shrink down to soldier size or tower over the battlefield. The campaign is around 10 hours but has no skirmish or multiplayer mode, and development stopped after release, leaving players wanting more.
