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 SOUNDART feels like a frenetic, full-body dance where every swing and thrust syncs perfectly to your chosen music, creating a vibrant sensory overload.

What players say

Players praise the ability to play local music files, but the auto-generated charts often miss the rhythm and feel imprecise. Performance is choppy even on strong hardware, and the petal-based hitting mechanic strikes some as awkward. It is best suited for streamers wanting flashy visuals or as a light fitness tool, not for rhythm game purists.
