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 with responsive physics and fluid score-chasing action.

What players say

Players say QuiVr Vanguard refines the original's bow mechanics into a tighter wave-shooter format with better graphics and pacing, but some struggle with the default bow offset that feels unnatural, and brief unskippable pauses between waves bug a few.
