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 demanding rhythm game that pushes you into a meditative flow through trippy, stress-inducing visuals that intensify with skill.

What players say

Players describe Quadrant as a uniquely intense rhythm game that demands precise timing and focus, with trippy visuals that escalate as you improve. The brutal learning curve and reliance on streak scoring frustrate some, while others find it addictively meditative once it clicks. Support for custom levels via workshop is noted, though the base game offers only three songs.
