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

Slicing through swarms of cyborg enemies with a high-frequency katana in a blistering, rhythmic ballet of precision and destruction.

What players say

Players love the over-the-top action, memorable boss fights with synchronized music, and the difficulty that spikes hard near the end. The parry mechanic is poorly explained and the PC port has some technical issues, but the style and soundtrack keep people coming back.
