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

It feels like a comic-book power fantasy simulator where you zip through a city at superhuman speeds, pulling off acrobatic moves and flashy attacks with the direct, physical feedback of VR.

What players say

Players are split on this VR hack-and-slash. Sword controls and running feel good, but enemies are dumb and boring, the game is very short, and some players get motion sick from the movement system.
