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 nostalgic arcade shooter brought into a 360 degree VR space, where quick reflexes and motion controls create a tense, action packed experience

What players say

Players call this a VR take on Centipede, complete with the Pixels movie aesthetic. It is fun in short bursts but quickly gets repetitive, and many note the constant need to look up causes neck strain. The difficulty is low, and reviewers want more modes or a campaign.
