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 VR strategy game where you orchestrate armies from a godlike perspective, blending turn-based planning with real-time combat against demonic foes.

What players say

Players praise the tabletop VR concept and art, but most say the game is an underbaked 4X mixed with a card battler, not a proper RTS. Frequent crashes and multiplayer sync errors never got fixed, the developer abandoned it and shut down servers, and Valve Index controllers are unplayable.
