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 frantic, colorful bullet-hell where you dodge relentless enemy fire as a cybernetic animal with permadeath keeping every run tense.

What players say

Players praise the bang-for-buck value and high replayability, but many find the first boss too hard early on and say the starter level's random variation is too intense. Some report clunky movement and a grind to unlock characters.
