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 high-energy VR rhythm boxing game that makes you sweat as you punch to the beat in a colorful, arcadey virtual space.

What players say

Players call Shadow BoXR a fun and effective workout that rivals more expensive fitness apps. It supports custom songs from BeatSaver with minimal setup, and the developer is praised for being responsive to feedback. Some note the graphics are basic and hook punch hitboxes can be finicky, but the $10 price is seen as excellent value.
