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

Swinging through vast sci-fi spaces at high speed with energy hooks and time-slowing boosters feels liberating and fluid.

What players say

Players describe Slinger VR as a tech demo with solid swing physics but little content, and it lacks basic VR features like in-place turning or controller-based walking. It causes nausea in many players and requires a large play area.
