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 fast-paced VR arcade game where you catch and throw boomerangs to defuse bombs, demanding precise timing and steady hands.

What players say

Players like the boomerang throwing mechanic but say the game is brutally difficult, even on easy. It is an arcade-style VR game with three modes and achievements, and catching the boomerang is required for each throw to count. Some players report glitches on the HTC Vive. Opinions split on whether the game works well with different VR headsets.
