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 explore a dark alien planet in VR, mining resources and fighting while accompanied by a tea-making robot.

What players say

Players compare it to a story-driven Deep Rock Galactic in VR. They praise the optimization and controls but say it gets grindy and repetitive by the end, with a weak story and a bug that blocks progress on the final boss. A few report the HTC Vive is unplayable due to control issues.
