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 play as a lone drummer navigating a fractured world, using rhythm-based platforming and combat to restore harmony through a step-sequencer drum kit.

What players say

Players love the absurd humor from the developer Cool 3D World, calling it a short but hilarious rhythm-based platformer. Many note the clever use of drum beats in gameplay and the intentionally ridiculous character creator, though a few wish the sequencer mechanics were more fleshed out.
