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 tense, intimate VR duel where a single mistake means instant death, forcing you to face your fear with a single precise strike.

What players say

Players say Death Dojo is a short, free VR tech demo with rigid block mechanics that force you to move in specific ways. It tests reflexes across difficulty levels, but movement registration requires extra sensors and hitbox issues frustrate. Long-time players note it was never updated and better VR sword games exist now.
