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 tense, beat-driven arcade game where your snake's movement is tightly synced to the music, demanding precise timing to score combos and avoid mistakes.

What players say

Players say the snake-and-rhythm hybrid is a clever but brutally hard concept. Custom songs work well, but FLAC files are not supported. The soundtrack has only 8 tracks, and the local multiplayer is a planned bonus. Players split on whether the fun offsets the difficulty.
