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, rhythm-driven brawler where you must time your attacks to the beat while facing waves of quirky enemies.

What players say

Players compare it to Crypt of the NecroDancer but say the combat is simpler and the controls can be unintuitive. The game has not received updates since its 2021 release, and some report broken controller support or a short, repetitive loop after unlocking everything.
