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 tight horizontal shoot 'em up that blends familiar Touhou mechanics with a refreshing side-scrolling perspective.

What players say

Players praise the music and the generous life system, but many struggle with bullet visibility against bright backgrounds and find the horizontal layout uncomfortable. The game is seen as easier than average on Normal, though later stages can be frustrating. Some note the lack of a replay system and incomplete features.
