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 physical VR sword-fighting game that feels like a skill-testing arcade challenge set in medieval Japan.

What players say

Players find the swordplay basic with a color-matching mechanic, and difficulty comes from overwhelming enemy numbers rather than smarter foes. Performance problems like fps drops, crashes, and frequent pauses are common. The game demands a very large play space. Players compare it unfavorably to titles like Hellsplit: Arena and Blade & Sorcery.
