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-driven gauntlet where tight music synchronization and failure mockery make each attempt feel like a playful, punishing dance.

What players say

Players praise the tight controls and fair difficulty, with checkpoints that keep frustration in check. The campaign is short, around 20 levels, and the workshop is inactive despite adding value for those who try it.
