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 fast-paced VR strategy game that feels like a frantic, tactical arcade challenge, but is now only playable on old hardware.

What players say

Players love the addictive tower defense loop and the novel hand-thrown bombs and drag-based movement, but split on difficulty, one mid-level is widely considered unfair. Long-term reviews warn the game has been abandoned, leaving newer VR controllers unsupported.
