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, stylish bullet hell that blends cute anime aesthetics with chaotic old-school internet energy and punishing difficulty.

What players say

Players call it a brutally hard Mega Man-style platformer with absurd difficulty spikes and gimmicky bosses, like one that requires melee only. The lack of fullscreen support and awkward control remapping are common complaints. It is short, cheap, and rewarding for a very specific niche of bullet-hell and Touhou fans.
