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 clumsy, timing-driven arcade game where you control movement with a single button and navigate a dark dungeon while avoiding walls and enemies.

What players say

Players control a drunk character who walks forward automatically and only turns or shoots when they click. The bizarre controls are the whole game: frustrating but intentional. At just eight stages it is short, but the difficulty ramps up sharply, especially on floor 6. Some wish the story were not stuck in Japanese.
