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 casual, rhythmic experience that feels gentle and slightly emotional as you explore a futuristic space setting with a charming companion.

What players say

Players say the game has a nice visual style and some good music, but development stalled and was abandoned. The story is very short and there is a severe content drought. The 4-5 key switching gimmick is interesting, but the lack of key rebinding or controller support is frustrating. Comparisons to DJMAX are common, often calling this a worse version.
