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 2D pixel platform shooter with arcade-style action and a retro sci-fi aesthetic.

What players say

Players praise the uncensored pixel and anime art, but many say the lack of controller support makes the game near unplayable. The run-and-gun gameplay is solid but can feel repetitive, and the chip-based upgrade system adds some depth. Bosses are fair, and losing triggers lewd scenes that double as a revive mechanic.
