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, entry-level bullet-hell shooter with retro arcade energy and a comedic tone.

What players say

Players call it a Touhou-inspired bullet hell, but note it has a health meter instead of one-hit deaths and an easier difficulty. They are split on the art and writing, calling the art style rough and the dialogue meandering, while praising the gameplay and soundtrack.
