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 light, casual arcade shooter where you drag cards to survive increasingly long runs against colorful enemies.

What players say

Players appreciate the creative mix of card mechanics and bullet hell shooting, calling it easy to learn and relaxing. But many find the game gets repetitive quickly, with no clear goal, no bosses, and no permanent upgrades between runs, so the fun fades after about 8 minutes.
