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

Learning songs by ear on a piano-like interface feels methodical and rewarding, with a darkly introspective emotional undertone.

What players say

Players praise the unique listen-then-play memory mechanic that clicks once you get the hang of it, though some note keyboard lag and a rough start. The game is short with a satisfying difficulty curve, and the story about mental health and mortality is strongly felt.
