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 pulse-pounding, music-driven VR experience where you rhythmically pound drums to charge through fantasy landscapes and obliterate enemies to the blare of heavy metal.

What players say

Players praise the original drum-based movement and shooting, along with the heavy metal soundtrack. Many call controls intuitive and note zero motion sickness. Some say it still needs polish and is more of a fun novelty than a game with lasting depth. A few mention crash bugs.
