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-paced, side-scrolling beat-em-up with a lighthearted, anime aesthetic and chaotic combat that balances silly fun with punishing bullet-hell difficulty.

What players say

Players describe it as a mix of beat 'em up and shoot 'em up with a distinctive art style that some find too simplistic and backgrounds repetitive. Humor and pixel art are praised but the music disappoints, and there is an achievement bug.
