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 where you tactically deploy characters in story-driven battles, feeling like a mix of musical timing and strategic planning.

What players say

Players say this free rhythm game blends music with turn-based battles, using skills to attack enemies. The difficulty spikes sharply around episode 4, and holds require precise release timing unlike most rhythm games. Praise for the music is common, but many report freezing screens when loading stages, and a full keyboard is strongly recommended to avoid softlocks.
