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, unforgiving bullet hell where each run demands quick reflexes and precise movement.

What players say

Players are split, with many saying it feels unpolished and boring despite a charming green visual style. The absorb mechanic and manual reload frustrate, while runs are seen as too short and the price too high for what's offered.
