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 chaotic, high-energy arcade shooter in VR that combines relentless waves of enemies with over-the-top violence and a comedic tone.

What players say

Players say this faithful VR adaptation keeps the frantic old-school action but introduces quirks: dual-wielding feels weightless, jumping segments are frustrating in VR, and aiming is easier thanks to laser sights. A few report crashes or blurry visuals on high-end hardware, while others find it runs smoothly.
