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 rhythm game where you tap along to upbeat music while hanging out with a cute virtual idol in colorful, arcade-style stages.

What players say

Players split about its quality, but fans say it is a must-have for Kizuna Ai loyalists. It works in VR and on Steam Deck, but the keyboard layout is cramped with ten keys, and several players note the song "AIAIAI" is absent. The 15-song base seems thin for the price, though VR mode offers a lively concert experience.
