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 realistic VR swordplay simulation focused on precise katana handling and physics-based cutting.

What players say
Players praise the satisfying katana cutting and sword details but consistently report hit registration problems, janky tracking, and no left-handed mode. The developer has not updated the game since late 2024, leaving promised content undelivered, which divides players between those who enjoy the core physics and those who find it unfinished.
