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

It feels like a frantic arcade defense game where you juggle multiple fronts in VR, relying on careful timing and a slowdown mechanic to manage overwhelming threats.

What players say

players say it is a visually polished VR version of Missile Command with simple mechanics that get chaotic fast. It works best for quick bursts of play, but many find it shallow and repetitive after 30 minutes, with no weapon upgrades and limited depth.
