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 frantic VR arcade shooter where you must quickly switch between pistols and shields to fend off enemies from all sides.

What players say

Players describe this as a 360-degree wave shooter where color-coded balls split when shot and behave differently, some track, some explode. Reviews split: some find it polished and a fun leaderboard chaser, others say it gets old quickly compared to other arena shooters, and one notes a day-one sword glitch has been fixed.
