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 arcade shooter where you fight through procedurally generated dungeons to the beat of your own music, with abilities tied to the rhythm.

What players say

Players praise the unique beat-making mechanic but say the game gets repetitive and grindy fast, with poor balance making later stages punishing. Long-time players report the developer abandoned it.
