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 rhythmic, monochrome survival game where you move freely through space, avoiding beats in a pulsing audiovisual trip.

What players say

Players describe it as a short arcade-style game that is easy to pick up but hard to master. The core mechanic of growing by consuming black dots while avoiding white ones is interesting, but some find the game forgettable and less satisfying than other entries in the series.
