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 relentless, stripped-down bullet hell that feels like a feverish, skeletal dance through a dystopian nightmare.

What players say

Players praise the heavy attack's bullet-canceling mechanic, which makes the game accessible for newcomers, and the unique bio-horror art style and soundtrack stand out. Some find the visuals too chaotic and wish for a retry option. The developer's long history in the genre is noted.
