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

You control a defenseless hero who hugs cute allies to make them fire bullets, creating a chaotic, love-filled shooter that feels fast-paced and silly.

What players say

Players enjoy the novel hug-to-charge mechanic and cute art style, but find the game shallow and short, finishing in under two hours. Many note the absence of any options menu and rough English translation, and strongly recommend using a controller over keyboard. Opinions split on value: several say the full price is too high for the little content.
