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, precision-demanding shooter that feels like a high-speed dance through surreal chaos.

What players say

Players compare it to Devil Daggers and Hyper Demon, praising the fast movement and spell combination system. The game is short but built around leaderboards and co-op play. Some find certain levels too dark and note that falling off arenas is easy in VR.
