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 2D shoot 'em up that blends exploration and intense boss duels with pixel artwork and a medieval fantasy setting.

What players say

Players enjoy the retro pixel art and the challenge, but they are split on the controls: some find the movement slow and the dash unresponsive, while others praise the exploration and weapon variety. A common complaint is the lack of auto-fire, making the pace feel sluggish.
