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 pulpy VR shooter with realistic weapon handling and environmental interactions, set in a heightened World War II infused with supernatural horror.

What players say

Players see promise in this VR wave shooter but say it is rough around the edges, with clunky controls and limited content. The developer engages with the community, but a 2025 update canceled the planned single player campaign, leaving long-term supporters disappointed.
