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 sci-fi romp blending fast shooting with brain-teasers and quirky gadgets, all wrapped in a cartoony, exploratory adventure.

What players say

Players praise the movement and VR port, often comparing it favorably to Half-Life. It is a short game, beatable in about 3.5 hours, with challenging but fair boss fights. A few players find it boring or middling, and some note that getting lost is easy due to little handholding.
