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

The game feels like a high-speed mashup of classic block-slotting and rhythm-action, where every move is synced to a pulsing EDM beat and the pressure builds until the music ends.

What players say

Players say BEATris blends Tetris with rhythm game speed, but the difficulty spikes sharply after the tutorial and some stages move in unpredictable directions that force memorization over skill. The game has a small workshop and limited included songs, and the controls feel unresponsive at high speeds.
