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 fast-paced third-person shooter with anime aesthetics and puzzle elements, where you navigate enemy-filled areas while trying to escape.

What players say

Players praise the charming characters and denpa anime aesthetic, but agree the game has many rough edges: guns are inaccurate, movement is floaty, and the final boss is a bullet-hell nightmare. Length is around 11 hours with no fast travel, and the story is a direct sequel.
