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

An unpredictable and frantic shoot-'em-up where luck determines your arsenal, demanding quick adaptation to survive.

What players say

Players call this a casual, beginner-friendly shmup with randomized weapons that encourage improvisation rather than strict pattern memorization. Full runs are short, around 20 minutes, and the difficulty is low enough that even newcomers can clear normal without much trouble. Some find the dialogue and fanservice awkward, and a few wish for more levels or better weapon management.
