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 fast-paced rhythm runner where you move in sync with electronic music, competing for high scores through risk-taking and precise timing.

What players say

Players describe it as a challenging rhythm game where following the beat is the main skill, and compare it to Super Hexagon. The soundtrack and hypnotic graphics keep people coming back, and one review notes the developer returned years later to rewrite the game.
