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

Playing feels like a relentless, beat-synced arcade blitz where every pulse of the techno soundtrack drives the bullet-hell action faster the better you do.

What players say

Players describe a frantic, chaotic shooter with flashy visuals that can cause sensory overload or even epileptic seizures. The soundtrack-based gameplay is a core part, though some find the music indistinct compared to Beat Hazard. Players are split on whether the chaos is exciting or overwhelming.
