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 bombastic arcade naval brawler where you captain a warship from a first-person VR perspective, summoning magical powers and blasting enemy ships in chaotic, large-scale sea battles.

What players say

Players describe Battlewake as a fun but short arcade VR game with a campaign around 2 hours. Many warn the developer abandoned it and that value is only there on sale, while some enjoy the co-op and wave survival modes.
