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

A playful, silly rhythm game where tapping along to the beat unlocks absurdly fun scenarios, creating a relaxed and cheerful experience.

What players say

Players praise the unusual fusion of a desktop pet idler and a rhythm game, comparing it to Taiko and Bongo Cat. They like the 90-song library, unlockable characters with distinct genres, and the ability to import OSU beatmaps. Some find songs too long and note that idle progress is slow, while others disagree on whether it works well for work breaks.
