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

It feels like a frantic, ultraviolent bullet-hell arena where you are alone against everyone, with a grim cyberpunk post-Soviet aesthetic.

What players say

Players are split on this VR action game. Some enjoy the cyberpunk atmosphere, dual-wielding and arena mode, while others find it unplayable due to the inability to adjust the gun angle and oversized hitboxes. The story is told through comic book panels that players must shoot to advance, and there is no reloading, you drop empty guns.
