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, retro arcade-style run-and-jump platformer where you control a geisha battling enemies in Kyoto.

What players say

Players say it is a short, difficult side-scroller with only three stages and no checkpoints. The controls are simple but the hit detection feels off, and there is no pause button. Many note the soundtrack is surprisingly good, while others point out the game uses stock assets and resembles the developer's other titles.
