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 frantic, arcade-inspired action game that demands quick reflexes and precision under pressure.

What players say

Players say the game requires changing the system locale to Japanese just to launch, with no in-game options or tutorial. The side-scrolling action is short, under two hours, and enemies respawn when re-entering a screen. Unlocking the gallery involves a hidden keyboard input players had to figure out online.
