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 vibrant rhythm game where you tap and swing to original Japanese-folklore-inspired music amid hand-drawn, colorful scenery, with adjustable difficulty for a comfortable pace.

What players say

Players call it the best Taiko drum VR game, praising its low price and built-in custom song support. They are split on the battle pass system: some appreciate the free cosmetics, others find the interface tedious. Many note the outside hit timing can be inconsistent and the sakura mode activation is finicky.
