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 frantic, retro-styled bullet hell where you dodge waves of projectiles while blasting through enemies in a top-down arcade frenzy.

What players say

Players call it a solid retro arcade shooter with a character perk system that encourages replays, but the lack of saving and a sharp difficulty spike turn deaths into full restarts. Some note performance stutters and a weak basic weapon that drags boss fights.
