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 VR fight against a giant mutant mantis, mixing clumsy desperation with dark humour and over-the-top weapon use.

What players say

Players fight a giant mantis in the woods, using objects parry and dodge. The single boss is the whole game, making it very short. Some find the controls awkward and clunky, with movement that feels unnatural. Others love the absurd premise for laughs, especially at its one-dollar price. A few report VR launch problems.
