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 breathless, acrobatic VR brawl where players fling and climb with their hands, mixing deck-building strategy with frantic, physical combat.

What players say

Players praise the movement system that mixes Climbey-style climbing with powerup cards, jetpacks, and weapons. The combat is fast and chaotic, but the tiny playerbase makes finding matches nearly impossible. Many say the game needs bots to survive.
