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 simple, fast-paced virtual reality arcade game where you frantically whack moles with a hammer to protect a vegetable garden.

What players say

Players say it is a simple VR wack-a-mole game best suited for children, but it demands an unusually large play area and gets tedious as the difficulty ramps up. Opinions split on whether the short arcade fun justifies the price.
