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 hardcore 2D duel where precise dashing, slow-motion analysis, and barrier placement are needed to survive relentless boss bullet patterns.

What players say

Players praise the unique mix of platforming and bullet hell, calling it original and polished, but many find the keyboard-only controls unintuitive and clunky. The game is a boss rush that demands pattern memorization, and reviews split sharply on whether the unconventional controls make it frustrating or rewarding.
