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

You feel like a pilot in a high-stakes virtual training simulation, dodging and shooting at relentless waves of enemies in varied environments.

What players say

Players describe HVRGUN as a fun but abandoned early-access Battlezone clone. Many warn the developer stopped updating it around 2016, leaving controller bugs unfixed and no multiplayer. Those who enjoy it get a short, simple wave-based tank game for a low price.
