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 feels like choreographing a goofy, funky band practice where every move must be timed and optimized for a satisfying combo.

What players say
Players describe Backbeat as a sokoban puzzle game fused with music, where each band member has unique movement tied to their instrument. The difficulty is notable, often causing players to get stuck on certain stages. The game respects ultrawide monitors and the ending earns praise for being unexpected.
