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

You press buttons to the beat, guiding a party of heroes through rhythmic combat in a brightly colored, humorous adventure.

What players say

Players enjoy the creative mix of rhythm and RPG mechanics but split on the game's longevity. Some find it clever and fresh, while others say the campaign runs short and battles grow repetitive. A notable complaint reports broken controller support for local multiplayer.
