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 chaotic and unstable rhythm game that feels jerky and unpredictable, with flashes of brilliance amidst the confusion.

What players say

Players describe Ranocta as a free fan rhythm game with a unique but non-intuitive control scheme that requires moving a cursor to notes before pressing them. The play list is short, with only 9 songs, and the learning curve is steep even for rhythm game veterans. Reviews split on whether the high entry barrier is a rewarding challenge or just frustrating.
