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

You stand in a virtual arena, frantically slashing and blocking with motion controls as enemy bots swarm closer.

What players say

Players praise the physical workout and sparking swords together, but are split on the combat: some enjoy fast-paced slicing while others find it a shallow Fruit Ninja clone with bad hit detection, no indicator for incoming attacks, and compatibility issues with Quest 3 through SteamVR.
