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 straightforward arcade shoot'em up where you shoot arrows at enemies in short stages with boss fights and unlockables.

What players say

Players praise it as a solid bullet hell with surprisingly deep mechanics beneath the adult content, though they split on the difficulty, some find it fair, others say arcade mode and later stages get overwhelming. The game is short but requires patience for 100%, and many recommend using a gamepad over keyboard.
