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 rhythm game that feels like learning music theory through playful, story-driven challenges requiring precise timing.

What players say

Players praise the single-button gimmick but say it gets far harder than it looks, especially for the final boss. Many highlight the co-op mode and compare it favorably to Rhythm Heaven. Reviews split on whether the difficulty is fair: some love the challenge, while others want a practice mode for late levels.
