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

Playing Gun Beat feels like a frantic, full-body dance where you must synchronize your shots with the music while physically dodging incoming fire.

What players say

Players praise the core idea of a rhythm-based bullet hell in VR but strongly agree the game lacks content and has been abandoned by its developers. Frequent complaints about the fever mode being off-beat and the inability to import custom songs, with several reviewers noting the game feels unfinished.
