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 high-energy anime beat-em-up where flashy combos and dramatic boss fights drive the forward momentum.

What players say

Players praise the story, music, and character arcs but warn the game has aged poorly with a confusing onboarding, mandatory button mashing, and heavy grind. The Steam version cannot link existing mobile accounts and uses a kernel-level anti-cheat that some reject.
