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 classic arcade shoot 'em up that feels like a relentless, skill-testing gauntlet with no safety nets and a surreal philosophical backdrop.

What players say

Players describe a short, single-level bullet hell where you shoot ground targets and manage cooldown abilities. The occult, vaporwave-inspired visual style draws praise. Reviews note it adapts difficulty to your skill, but also mention bullet visibility could be better.
