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 relentless gauntlet of boss fights demanding quick reflexes and repeated attempts, with arcade-style shooting and platforming action.

What players say

Players praise the tight boss-rush action and the no-hit mechanic that unlocks new phases, but many are frustrated by technical problems on Steam Deck and Linux, and by missing cloud saves. Opinions are split on the controls, with some finding them precise and others unplayable.
