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 frantic, retro-style arcade platformer where you dash and slice through bullet patterns with character-switching powers.

What players say

Players call it a modern take on the first Touhou game, mixing breakout-style ball bouncing with bullet-hell boss fights. It is short (around 20-30 minutes) but offers three ability sets and difficulty levels, and opinions split on whether the simple scoring penalty for game over removes challenge.
