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

Staying on beat to attack while dodging bullets in a dungeon makes the game feel like a tense, rhythmic dance that punishes missteps.

What players say

Players love the blend of bullet hell dodging and rhythm-based attacking, calling it a fresh take on both genres. The game is consistently described as tough but rewarding, with standout boss fights and a soundtrack that keeps players coming back for more runs.
