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 frantic, high-velocity VR action game where you use momentum-charged weapons to fly and strike targets at breakneck speeds.

What players say

Players say Rocket Swords is a free, short VR demo with a unique flying mechanic where you lunge by pointing weapons, but many find it incomplete and ugly, comparing it to a high school project. The motion sickness is low, and the visuals are described as trippy.
