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

Players feel a relentless, visceral power fantasy as they brutally tear through demonic hordes in a claustrophobic VR environment.

What players say

Players praise the atmosphere and graphics of DOOM in VR, but most review time is spent on broken controls. Many find the default control scheme unusable, with no smooth turning at all, and Quest 3 support is broken out of the box. A community fix exists that some say solves it, but the game feels unfinished to many.
