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 shooter where you zip through sci-fi battlefields uncovering ancient secrets.

What players say

Players are split on this VR shooter. Movement is teleport-only to predefined spots, and combat is clearing waves of enemies in linear rooms. The campaign is around two hours, and there is only one boss. Some enjoy the arcade rail-shooter feel and slow-motion mechanic, while others find it repetitive and a step back from the first game.
