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 and punishing arcade shooter where a cute pudding character fights through hell with nonstop action and no room for error.

What players say

A brutally difficult action game where you input random directional keys before each action, forcing a chaotic rhythm. Players say their hands cannot keep up with their brains, and the steep combo penalty for wrong inputs is punishing. The gameplay is novel but the level design and unclear shield and skill effects frustrate. A few Japanese and Korean reviews praise the cute pudding protagonist.
