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 and intense action game that feels raw and unpolished, demanding quick reflexes.

What players say

Players praise the fast, fluid movement and satisfying combat, but consistently call the game too short and point to poor weapon carryover between runs that makes new game plus feel unfair. The difficulty jumps sharply after the first clear, and limited anti-air options frustrate many. A hidden joke language option adds charm.
