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

You zip down snowy slopes and snap off rifle shots in a physically active VR simulation that makes you feel like a real biathlete.

What players say

Players say it is the only VR biathlon game, but opinions split on quality. The arm-swinging skiing mechanic is a workout, though some find it clunky and slow. Shooting is more fun than skiing. Development appears stalled, with promised Oculus support never delivered.
