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, retro-inspired arcade shooter with dense bullet patterns and a fantasy setting, demanding precise movement and quick reflexes.

What players say

Players praise the tight controls, FM soundtrack, and unique monster-girl aesthetic but are split on the cover mechanic: some find it interesting, others say it ruins visibility and makes the game unfairly punishing if you lose a life.
