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 juggle bands, cash, and crises with a wry smile in a pixel-art music-studio sandbox.

What players say

Players are split on this music management sim: some find it a simple time-waster, while others are frustrated by the lack of content after a few hours. The game is very short, runs out of things to do once a band reaches four stars, and forces long stretches of waiting for energy to recover.
