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 blistering, chaotic VR shooter that blends explosive parkour, grappling hook, and flesh-rending weapons into a wild, creative rampage against a dystopian background with a darkly humorous edge.

What players say

Players praise the fast-paced parkour and grappling hook but warn the driving is frustrating and often buggy. Combat feels solid except for bullet-sponge enemies in later sections. Many note the game is a promising VR campaign brought down by overall jank, and that the studio disbanded in late 2024.
