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 shooter with cute sushi characters, a darkly funny space story, and slick soundtrack that feels accessible for newcomers but challenging for core players.

What players say

Players praise the bizarre sushi-themed premise but note the slippery movement and self-damaging special attacks take getting used to. Reviews split on longevity: some find the levels too repetitive while others enjoy the puzzle-like approach. The game is short (under an hour on easy), has frequent retries, but suffers from intense visual effects that obscure the action.
