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 quick, tense arcade-style challenge where you dodge and fight as a small square, with difficulty ramping up over a half-song duration.

What players say

Players say this free bullet hell is a pure reaction test that lasts about half a song, with tight controls and escalating difficulty. The graphics use Godot faces and shaders, but the screen is visually noisy. Multiple reviewers note the achievements are bugged and do not unlock.
