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

You and a partner play as a sneaky agent and an unseen guide, relying on frantic whispered directions to dodge enemy robots in a retro-futuristic software castle.

What players say

Players praise the asymmetric co-op idea where one person guides the VR spy from a map, but split on execution. Many warn of strong motion sickness from the stick-based movement, and the 12-15 level campaign is widely seen as too short.
