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 fast-paced side-scrolling action game where you slash and throw shurikens at monsters as a ninja trying to survive and get home.

What players say

Players agree the game is hardcore and punishing, but many found the controls broken until resetting to default settings in the menu. A notorious difficulty spike on stage 5 frustrates players, and late-game requires grinding 9,999 actions each for two weapons. Some note the art includes only 5 AI-generated images.
