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 anime action-platformer with a lighthearted but convoluted story, feeling derivative of the Touhou universe.

What players say

Players praise the combat system for its stylish combos and the quality of the boss fights, but many find the platforming segments tedious and the checkpoint system punishing. Some reviews report difficulty spikes that feel random or rely on RNG, while others note the developer is no longer active.
