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 short, rhythm-driven rock opera where you shred on a guitar controller and smash miniature towns as a giant hand, all set in a surreal, cartoony diorama world.

What players say

Players praise the heartfelt story and the autoplay option for those who struggle with rhythm games. Many find the themes of art and originality thought-provoking, but some find the experience frightening or the narrative difficult to follow.
