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 calm, accessible piano simulation where you can easily play classic music and customize your experience with imported MIDI files and ambient backgrounds.

What players say

Players praise the MIDI import feature and satisfying note feedback, but are split on an update that added scoring and removed options, which some say ruined the relaxed piano feel. The game lags with dense note charts, and players want features like a slide mechanic and batch MIDI loading.
