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 frantic, screen-filling bullet hell where you and a team of waifu characters blast through waves of demons and a demon king, with a focus on chaotic combat and resilient performance on low-end hardware.

What players say

Players say development stalled, with many calling the game abandoned. The mix of shoot 'em up and tower defense is interesting but suffers from poor balance, especially late-game enemy scaling that turns power fantasy into a grind. Pixel art and sound are praised, but the game's incomplete state and lack of updates frustrate players.
