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, visceral VR shooter where you blast through hordes of zombies while unraveling a corporate conspiracy in a graphically immersive world.

What players say

Players call it a VR Dead Island with a tropical setting, but reviews split sharply. Many praise the graphics and fun arcade shooting, while just as many report broken mechanics, invisible walls, glitchy item pickup, and poor performance even on high-end hardware. Updates through 2026 have not fixed these issues according to recent reviews.
