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 brisk, retro action game with simple controls and a surprising world setting, feeling like a spirited tribute to classic arcade shooters.

What players say

Players praise this Psikyo arcade shmup for its quick runs and branching routes leading to multiple endings. It is brutally hard, with continues forcing restarts from the beginning of a stage, but the co-op and simple controls keep it engaging.
