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 relentless, high-speed bullet-hell shooter where you dodge dense patterns and blast giant robotic sea creatures with satisfying feedback.

What players say

Players praise the solid arcade mode and branching campaigns but strongly criticize the level design as repetitive and empty, with few level types reused across thousands of missions. Some note the game lacks the Another Chronicle EX+ upgrade and online events found in the arcade and Switch versions. The price, especially for DLC, is a common complaint.
