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 fast-paced, brutal arcade shooter where you mow down alien hordes in a blood-spattered VR twin-stick frenzy.

What players say

Players say it is a short and punishing twin-stick shooter with VR support, but many see it as an unfinished tech demo. There are only two weapons, no upgrades, and repeated enemies, while one reviewer notes it is brutally hard from level four onward. Players are split on whether the quick pace justifies the price.
