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.

A fast-paced bullet hell shooter with cute anime pixel visuals and a lively soundtrack.

What players say

Players praise the anime art and soundtrack, but opinions split on the controls, the turning-to-shoot mechanic is divisive. A few call it very hard, others note the enjoy mode makes it accessible. Some report minor bugs and the story is only in Chinese.
