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 slick, fast-paced third-person shooter where smooth 3D graphics and varied magic make combat feel satisfying and visually impressive.

What players say

Players agree this is a very short student project from a Japanese academy, playable in under 20 minutes. The magic visuals and camera work are praised, but the lack of keyboard attack input and reliance on a controller frustrates some. Motion sickness is noted by a couple of players. Development beyond this demo is not expected.
