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 retro arcade shooter where precision and risk-reward mechanics drive a tense score attack.

What players say

Players say this is one of the hardest Psikyo shmups, with a punishing difficulty curve even on the lowest setting. The standout feature is a brief weakpoint on bosses that can instantly kill them up close, called a technical bonus. Some note missing features like a stage select and gallery, and the initial release lacks a quit button.
