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 arcade cover shooter with slow-motion takedowns that feels like a dark, violent cartoon.

What players say

Players call it a VR take on arcade shooters like Time Crisis and Virtua Cop. The teleport-only movement is a split point: some find it essential to the fun, others get motion sick and cannot change it. The campaign is short, around 2 to 3 hours, but the fast shooting, cover ducking, and score chasing keep people coming back.
