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

Frantic bullet-hell action meets turn-based planning, with a cute but unfinished feel from early access.

What players say

Players praise the unusual mashup of a turn-based ATB system with bullet-hell shooting, and enjoy the way the playfield shrinks as you improve to keep tension high. The Y2K art and music are a highlight, though some warn development has stalled with no updates for over two years.
