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 free-flying combat game where you hunt targets with a mix of melee and bullet-filled danmaku attacks, all with a cute anime aesthetic.

What players say

Players say the core combat loop has promise but the controls are janky, melee is slow, and camera work is rough. The game is short and repetitive, with no spellcard duels against other characters, yet some enjoy the weapon crafting akin to Monster Hunter and the 3D Touhou aesthetic.
