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, adorable shoot 'em up where you control a cybernetic corgi through chaotic bullet patterns, balancing cute charm with intense challenge and adjustable difficulty.

What players say

Players praise the charming pixel art and soundtrack, but opinions split on the difficulty: some find it accessible while others cite slow movement and environmental hazards as frustrating. The game is short, around 4 hours for the true ending, which some feel requires too much grind.
