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.

What players say

Players call this a free Touhou fan game that feels unfinished. Many note there is no music at all and that you must import your own. The bullet patterns are widely considered basic and easy, with some finding the game repetitive or lacking challenge. A few enjoy the classic bullet hell gameplay for the price, but most agree it is a rough, entry-level experience.
