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 vivid, fast-paced VR action game where you fight by wielding a brush in a colorful world, with rhythmic combat that adapts to your playstyle.

What players say

Players praise the visual style and novel tilt-brush-meets-action concept, but many report the game is short with only three levels and was abandoned. Controls are a common frustration, especially color switching on Vive, and some find the combat repetitive.
