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 lighthearted, over-the-top arcade-style on-rails shooter where you frantically fend off a swarm of adoring girls with pheromone shots, blending visual novel dating sim elements with cheeky humor and colorful anime visuals.

What players say

Players say this on-rails shooter is fun but awkward. The controller controls feel clumsy and targeting weak spots is imprecise. Players are split on whether the grind is worth it.
