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 Toaplan shooter. Some praise the helper system and strategic enemy priority, while many criticize bullet-sponge enemies and poor bullet visibility against backgrounds. Emulation quality is debated: some call it solid, others report choppy performance and missing pixel-aspect options. A notable deadzone issue on Steam Deck can be fixed by editing the controller layout.
