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 magical action game where you physically perform arm gestures to cast spells, fighting colorful monsters in a bright fantasy world.

What players say

Players describe it as a short VR spellcasting game where you wave your arms to cast spells, but many find the motion recognition unreliable and the combat gets boring fast. Some note a false virus warning from the install, and comparisons to a low-budget Magicka in VR come up.
