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 Tetris-like puzzler with five-block pieces that generates hypnotic musical loops as you clear rows.

About
A Tetris-like game with a twist: the pieces are composed of 5 blocks (hence the title "Pentominon"), and they fall in a sort of sequencer that generates hypnotic musical loops as the players progress. To obtain higher scores the players have to delete rows in a particular way: if a single block remains "isolated" from the rest it begins to add extra points to the score in a so-called "ignition mode". The game was developed and published in 2009 by xisai, and received an enhanced remake/sequel by the same authors in 2017 (Pentominon Transctiption, available on Xbox One). The original version is no longer available due to the end of Xbox Live Indie Games program.
