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 control every wobbly slide and off-key honk, creating a gleefully chaotic performance that feels more like a comedy jam than a strict rhythm challenge.

What players say

Players love the silly, authentic feel of playing a trombone in VR, calling it a natural and well-made port of the flat game. They disagree on performance: many find it polished and fun, while a few report game-specific tracking bugs that ruin combos.
