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.

What players say

Players describe a brief VR shooting gallery where giant cockroaches fly at your face for jump scares, but they do no damage and there is no health bar. The guns have infinite ammo and no reload, which some find simple while others wish for more depth. At about two dollars, many call it worth the price for a laugh or to prank a friend afraid of bugs, though most agree replay value is low.
