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

You dodge endless spinning discs in colorful, room-based arenas, dying repeatedly while unlocking new abilities to survive.

What players say

Players describe it as a pure, arcade-style bullet hell where you dodge spinning discs in creative rooms. It is short, with many saying it is a one-time experience, but the hard mode remixes the map for extra challenge. Reviewers are split on some late-game rooms, calling one lobotomy room overly reliant on luck.
