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 fast-paced 2D action game with cute anime visuals, challenging sword combat, and an unsettling psychological horror undercurrent.

What players say

Players praise the art and CG, but are sharply divided on the controls: many call them sluggish, sticky or unresponsive, while the bosses and even regular enemies read inputs aggressively. Those who enjoy the challenge compare the best boss fights to Sekiro or Black Myth Wukong, but others warn that the game's appeal is mostly for Touhou fans.
