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 campy, arcade-style shooter with rapid-fire combat against absurdly large enemies.

What players say

Players love the absurd humor and surprisingly solid third-person shooting, which grows into bullet-hell patterns on harder difficulties. The game wears its Cho Aniki inspiration proudly, but several note it is short at around five stages and an hour to complete.
