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 are split on this Touhou fangame: the creative gacha and party battle system are praised, but many find it poorly balanced, the best strategy is often not dodging but farming power items through repeated deaths. The music and Touhou-inspired writing are consistently praised, though the lack of a continuous play mode and the punishing death penalty frustrate some.
