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, punishing bullet hell RPG where you frantically dodge waves of projectiles through bleak, corrupted landscapes while upgrading gear between desperate boss fights.

What players say

Players enjoy the fast-paced bullet hell combat and challenging bosses, but many criticize the stamina system for slowing down fights. The lack of a pause function during boss fights and short length are common complaints, while some note the absence of music outside boss arenas and limited controller customization.
