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 traditional bullet-hell shoot-'em-up with a contemplative, atmospheric feel and a focus on pattern-dodging and story-driven incident resolution.

What players say

Players praise the unique dye mechanic and analog controls, but split on difficulty: some call it 'not too hard' while others say later stages demand perfection, especially stage 6. The art and music get consistent praise.
