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

Vehicular combat racing in VR that feels like a chaotic, fast-paced arcade arena with stunts and power-ups.

What players say

Players love the chaotic mix of racing, stunts, and shooting in VR, comparing it to Mario Kart and Twisted Metal with N64-era nostalgia. The game offers many modes like capture the flag and free play, but note that it requires VR legs and the online player base is still small while waiting for a Quest release.
