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 brief, cute action boss rush where you hold to shoot, played at a casual pace.

What players say

Players praise the art and music but say it barely qualifies as a game: you cannot jump, interact with anything, or get new weapons. It is a short boss rush with telegraph patterns and some RNG in upgrades. Death resets everything including settings, and there are no dedicated audio sliders. The series reuses assets heavily so fans recommend buying only one entry.
