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 brisk, combo-driven platformer with anime-style art where progress comes from leveling up, but defeat triggers adult cutscenes.

What players say

Players praise the hand-drawn HCG and sprite animations but warn the game is stiff, grindy, and difficult without cheating or heavy stat grinding. Many note minimal story, lack of fullscreen and controller options, and bugs that lock CG unlocks, though dedicated players find a rewarding beat-em-up beneath the rough edges.
