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 straightforward, arcade-style twin-stick shooter with an overhead perspective and fast-paced action, though the recycled stages between the two titles give it a slightly repetitive feel.

About

This compilation contains ports of two separate mobile games: Gekidan Musume: Akane and Gekidan Musume: Aoi. Both games are overhead sci-fi shooters with 3D graphics in which players shoot through a series of stages; those stages and enemies are shared between the two games, while each features a different playable character and a different storyline.
