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 chaotic VR arcade game that layers absurd lawn-defense action over a mock-serious end-of-world premise

What players say

Players say the game is an unfinished prototype with only one level and no movement, where you watch grass grow while shooting rockets and putting out fires. The graphics are surprisingly good for such a limited experience, but reviewers agree the $5 price is too high for 15–20 minutes of content.
