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 casual VR sword-swinging arcade experience set in stylized ancient Japan with simple slicing action and light puzzle elements.

What players say

Players call it a short tech demo, not a full game. It only supports HTC Vive, Quest users report it unplayable despite workarounds. The scoring encourages wrist-flicking over actual swings. The last level has a boss that players find notable.
