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 lighthearted VR shooter where you use a magical slingshot to blast cartoon rats on a pirate ship, with strategic projectile choices.

What players say

Players consistently find the slingshot-based rat hunting too repetitive to stay fun, despite decent visuals and some puzzle-like secret hunting. A few report language and menu problems.
