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 dreamlike, fast-paced twin-stick shooter that balances cute hand-drawn visuals with a dark, emotional narrative.

What players say

Players praise the art style as Tim Burton-esque and the enemy designs as creative. The game is a twin-stick shooter with short levels and a dynamic difficulty slider, though some find it easy and short, with one reviewer claiming the game was dumbed down to chase Vampire Survivors trends.
