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 manage a band, customize your characters with detailed items, and balance gigs and finances in a low-stakes simulation.

What players say

Players praise the song creator and band management, but the game is brutally hard at the start with no tutorial and a permanent save system. The economy is punishing, and many note the developers abandoned it with bugs and incomplete features, making late-game repetitive.
