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.

a frantic danmaku shooter where the tables are turned, making you feel underpowered and scrappy against overwhelming patterns.

What players say

Players praise the music, art, and creative focus on underused Touhou characters like Rin Satsuki. The risk-reward hyper system and challenging, well-designed bullet patterns are highlights, though some find it harder than mainline Touhou games. Opinions split on the writing, with some calling it bland and others enjoying the humor.
