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 moody retro-style shooter with Japanese folklore and a sense of uncovering family secrets.

What players say

Players enjoy the concept but note it lacks checkpoints and has few invincibility frames, making it unforgiving. It is a short, free action platformer that offers a good challenge.
