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 brisk action-adventure that pairs shooting with exploration, driven by an unlikely duo's journey.

What players say

Players call it a rough but charming passion project from the Guilty Gear creator, with fun twin-stick combat and solid exploration. The inventory is a pain, the baby jump takes getting used to, and co-op has aiming problems, but the art and character variety win people over. Length is around 15-20 hours.
