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

Feels like a physics-driven VR sandbox where every interaction has weight and consequence, blending tense combat with experimental exploration.

What players say

Players love the physics and sandbox fun, but almost everyone says the short campaign is weak compared to Boneworks. The real game shines with easy modding and the free Fusion mod for multiplayer, though melee combat can feel floaty.
