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 typing rhythm game where you hit keys to the beat of energetic music, demanding both speed and timing.

What players say

Players are split on the core design: typing random letters rather than words feels unengaging to some, while others find it works well as a pure rhythm game. The provided songs are generally liked, but several reviewers note keyboard compatibility problems with certain keys or non-QWERTY layouts.
