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 laid-back, experimental rhythm-style toy where you play with your voice or a controller in short, easygoing sessions.

About

This PlayStation 2 release is a voice acting simulator that allows you to play with a microphone or with a controller, which turns the gameplay into a more rhythm-game-like experience.
