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 war game that feels like commanding miniature holographic armies on a tabletop, blending immersion with strategic planning.

What players say

Players describe Tactera as a simple but polished tabletop RTS that strips away resource management for pure tactical unit combat. Some non-VR players cannot adjust the camera, and tall players report neck strain from the low UI. VR owners call it a good demo for friends.
