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 lighthearted, fast-paced bullet hell where you mow down cosmic horrors with colorful upgrades as a cute, customizable cat in a whimsical power fantasy.

What players say

Players say it is a charming survivor-like where cute cats fight eldritch horrors, and the injection mechanic adds thought to how you pick weapons. Some find it easy to watch while chatting, and one review notes builds let you stand still and watch numbers go up.
