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 high-speed, frantic bullet hell where you slide and blast through waves of enemies with a big arsenal of over-the-top guns.

What players say

Players call this a polished old-school top-down shooter where standing still gets you killed. The game is fast, aggressive, and focused on constant motion and shooting. Several reviews mention no bugs and solid controls, though one player notes the environment management can take getting used to.
