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

You freely tap colorful virtual mallet instruments in a quiet, self-paced space, learning and improvising at your own rhythm.

What players say

Players see promise in this VR percussion sim for real practice, but many say the hit detection is inconsistent and mallets pass through keys instead of colliding, which frustrates experienced players. Features like sheet music import and a metronome are praised, though some note limited mallet grip options and a lack of bounce feedback. A few report performance issues like overheating.
