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 frenetic, tongue-in-cheek shoot-'em-up that blends arcade-style gameplay with over-the-top comedic and raunchy scenarios.

What players say

Players call it a short, casual bullet hell in the vein of Deep Space Waifu, where you must shoot off a giantess boss's clothes before defeating her or you get a game over. The 90s anime art style and absurd humor are widely praised, but reviews are split on the gameplay: some find it fun and relaxed, while others say it is bland, repetitive, and lacks weapon upgrades or a use for coins.
