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

Playing Sayonara Wild Hearts feels like racing through a neon dream at breakneck speed, guided by a pulsing pop soundtrack and a constant sense of euphoric forward motion.

What players say

Players praise it as a uniquely stylish hour-long experience that blends rhythm, endless runner, and QTE gameplay, wrapped around a phenomenal soundtrack. Many chase high scores and gold medals across replayable levels, though a couple of achievements frustrate completionists.
