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 frantic fusion of rhythm and shooting where every move must sync to the beat for survival and high scores.

What players say

Players praise the unique mix of rhythm and bullet hell, but often call the experience short with only 16 songs and story routes that require repeating content to see everything. Some criticize the lack of full Chinese localization and the portrait-only display, while others find the gameplay satisfying despite being tough to master.
