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 frenetic 3D bullet-hell shooter with rough machine-translated dialogue and a chaotic, high-speed feel.

What players say

Players describe a 3D Touhou fan game that captures the series' bullet hell spectacle and fair difficulty, but is rough around the edges as a student project. Controls are confusing for some, bosses become brutally hard, and interface and optimization leave much to be desired.
