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

Driving a zippy drone through obstacle courses feels responsive and snappy, with a simple party-friendly challenge that scales up in difficulty.

What players say

Players praise Drone Hero as a focused, physics-driven arcade game that captures the feel of flying a real drone in VR without the cost or risk of crashing. It is very short, about an hour, but at a dollar or two many find it a worthwhile experience. Some note it is closer to a tech demo than a full game.
