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, minimalist arcade shooter that feels like a nostalgic retro game brought to life in VR with simple controls and a focus on survival and high scores.

What players say

Players praise the nostalgic arcade feel and fun pick-up-and-play action, but note that development stopped while the game remained in early access. Some report the soundtrack was removed due to copyright issues, and Oculus headsets beyond the Rift have compatibility problems. Reviews split on the grind: unlocking and upgrading weapons takes a long time, which some find tiresome.
