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 and intense vertical shooter that demands precise movement and pattern memorization against a backdrop of gorgeous fantasy art.

What players say

Players praise this as a classic Cave bullet hell that is purely skill-based with no progression other than improving. A few find it impenetrably hard, especially on higher difficulties, though the game's design and soundtrack are consistently applauded.
