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 rhythmic, repetitive loop of precise kicks to music, building combos for escalating visual change and personal challenge.

What players say

Players describe it as a meditative rhythm game where kicking a stone to music creates a zen-like loop, with visuals and tracks changing every ten kicks. Some find the mouse-only controls awkward or the timing judgment inconsistent, and note the lack of achievements or keyboard support.
