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 breezy, infectiously cheerful rhythm game where tapping along to catchy rap beats feels like bouncing through an animated music video.

About
The original music video game. Help Parappa rap with the best of the master rappers and straight into Sunny's heart. Guaranteed you'll be singin' and dancin' along with Parappa and his pals to the most fun music mixes.
What players say
A wildly stylish, endearingly weird rhythm game with iconic music and personality, beloved for its charm despite notoriously laggy, divisive timing that frustrates as much as it delights.
