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, fast-paced shoot 'em up that demands quick reflexes and pattern memorization for high-score runs.

What players say

Players are split on Psyvariar 3. Some enjoy the core buzz and grazing mechanics, the variety of ships, and the challenge, especially after patches. Others find the ship speed too slow, the hitbox too large, and the visual and audio design lacking, with some saying it does not measure up to Psyvariar Delta. Performance issues on Steam Deck are noted.
