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 lighthearted snowball duel in VR where you dodge and throw using head movements for quick, score-chasing fun.

What players say

A simple early-VR wave shooter where you aim a snowball cannon by looking at enemies, not with hand controllers. Players praise the dodge mechanic by moving your head and the festive atmosphere, but note it is very short, around an hour.
