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, retro arcade interactive anime in which you follow a heroine through varied cartoonish scenarios, reacting to traps and enemies with timed button presses.

What players say

Players call it a faithful remaster of a 1985 laserDisc arcade game that runs about an hour. It is pure quick-time events with charming anime failure animations, but the price feels steep for the length and there is no replay value. Some find the timing window unforgiving, while others recommend cranking the difficulty to recreate the arcade challenge.
