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 retro run-and-gun platformer in VR where fast reflexes and precise shooting feel rewarding against challenging levels and bosses.

What players say

Players describe this as a VR take on classic Mega Man, with fast-paced shooting and platforming. It's considered easier than the first game but still challenging, with a retro soundtrack and satisfying boss fights. Reviews split on the presentation: some praise the graphics and music, while others call out generative AI cutscenes and voiceover as poor quality.
