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

Feels like a cheerful, story-driven romp with cute pixel graphics and simple controls, mixing gentle adventure with occasional, manageable bullet-hell chaos.

What players say

Players call this a short, experimental bullet-hell where you parry with a shield instead of shooting. It clocks in around two hours with two stages and three bosses. The difficulty splits opinion: some breeze through, others find one-miss-fail runs punishing.
