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 relentlessly fast and twitchy arcade shooter where you're constantly dodging, reflecting bullets, and slowing time through a cascade of boss fights.

What players say

Players praise Bleed 2 as a fast-paced arcade shooter that improves on the first in every way. It is short, around one to two hours, but packed with frantic bullet-hell action and satisfying parry mechanics. Some note aiming with the right stick feels awkward, and the difficulty for 100% completion can be punishing but fair.
