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, difficult side-scrolling platformer with cute anime visuals and fantasy themes.

What players say

Players consistently compare this to Megaman X, praising the unlimited-use weapon system with cooldowns and the character choice, but many criticize floaty movement, a missing crouch, no control rebinding, and no in-game volume slider. Opinions differ on the story and whether the difficulty is fair or frustrating.
