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, choice-driven platformer where each decision affects the story, with colorful pixel art and optional boss fights.

What players say

Players say the game is fun but too hard, with unbalanced bosses and Reimu being overpowered. Development seems to have stalled, with no updates.
