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 and strategic bullet-hell shooter that demands precise timing and pattern memorization against relentless enemy waves.

What players say

Players love the weapon system and soundtrack but warn this is one of the hardest shmups ever. The chain mechanic is essential for leveling weapons, and ignoring it makes the already-tough bosses feel nearly impossible. Some find it satisfying once they learn the systems, others give up.
