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, adrenaline-fueled arcade shooter where the chaos escalates as you gather power to fight back increasingly aggressive aliens.

What players say

Players praise the cute anime art style and retro arcade feel, but many report rough controls, especially with keyboard, and early builds lacked sound effects. Patches through early 2025 improved gameplay and controls, though multiplayer and UI options remain limited.
