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.

What players say

Players overwhelmingly warn that the game has been abandoned since spring 2024 with no word from the developer, making it an unfinished early-access product full of bugs and missing promised features. A few still find the guitar-building concept fun, but the near-universal sentiment is that it is not worth buying.
