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, arcade shoot 'em up with a dark fantasy setting where you fight through hordes of enemies using looted items to reach a final boss.

What players say

Players are largely fans of the original Baroque RPG, and many use this review page to ask for a port of that game rather than discuss the shmup. Those who do play it praise the music and the shot type combination system, but note visibility problems with tiny bullets and background effects. There is disagreement on whether it captures the feel of Baroque.
