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 bubbly, heaven-meets-hell rhythm game where you bop along to world music by drumming in time, wrapped in cartoonish angelic charm.

About

An angel from heaven has been sent by God to help troubled souls on Earth. As a cherub in training, you dole out good deeds by way of slapping a percussion "instrument" in time to a stream of angel wings which descend on screen. Your archenemy in this exercise of rhythm aptitude rests in the dark and pointy tailed persona of a bat-winged demon girl. Musical flavor from around the world, represented by instruments from particular countries, provide the lullabyes and strident interludes to play the game to. Two percussion controllers are included with each copy of Tam Tam. Players beat on the circular piece as well as the crescent shaped portion of the controller to the angel wing cues on screen.
