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.

A fast-paced action game where you deflect and stun enemies with precise timing in a colorful, anime-inspired world.

What players say

Players call it a short but polished game with fast, parry-focused combat. The core loop is satisfying, but the challenge spikes hard and runs can feel repetitive. Opinions split on depth, but most agree the art and music are strong.
