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 arcade bullet hell shooter where you dodge swarms of enemy fire and slow time for precise retaliation.

What players say

Players praise the upgrade system and satisfying power-ups, but warn about a brutal difficulty spike by stage 2 on normal mode and bad bullet visibility on some levels. The game is compared favorably to the 1943 series and is considered good value, though some dialogue is unskippable.
