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 swing your pickaxe to the beat, chipping away at colorful blocks in a customizable rhythm that feels both casual and subtly competitive.

What players say

Players need to add their own music, since the game comes with none. It has a blocky Minecraft-like look and a simple cart-riding concept. Some say it is fun and smooth, others find it subpar compared to other VR rhythm games like Beat Saber.
