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 nostalgic arcade shoot 'em up with cute anthropomorphic characters and fast-paced bullet-hell action.

What players say

Players praise the responsive controls and sega-genesis-inspired soundtrack, but are split on the metaprogression system: some find grinding for unlocks tedious, while others note an unlimited lives upgrade trivializes difficulty. A few experienced shmup players call the bullet patterns uninspired or janky.
