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.

What players say

Players report an arcade VR shooter that is fun in short bursts but lacks depth. The flight model is criticized as overly simple, with no simulation aspects. Some note severe motion sickness, others enjoy the accessible controls and cockpit detail. Reviews are split on replayability, with complaints that content gets old quickly and the game never receives updates.
