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 hectic, bullet-hell shooter where you deflect enemy attacks and blast across the screen with playful, chaotic energy.

What players say

Players praise the bullet counter mechanic and the yokai theme, but opinions split on the controls and art style. Many note the short three-stage length, and some complain about a big, slow hitbox and the lack of resolution options.
