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

You move and shoot in perfect sync with the music, creating a trance-like flow of chaotic, neon-drenched combat.

What players say

Players love building their own beatmaps with any MP3 or video file, and the custom track community is active. But the mix of rhythm, roguelike, and soulslike mechanics makes for a punishing experience with clunky controls and no checkpoints, which some find off-putting.
