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 fast-paced shmup interwoven with story segments and a relaxed apartment hub offering extras.

What players say

Players describe it as a free psychedelic shmup with visual novel elements, but warn that the flashing visuals can cause headaches or disorientation. The opening is long and the gameplay is simple, though the ability to skip bosses and choose paths adds variety. A few call it a short, cursed curiosity worth trying for free.
