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

Swinging a glowing blade in time with pounding music while frantically dodging one-hit-kill assassins feels like an intense, rhythmic dance of precision and reflexes.

What players say

Players see it as a cheap Beat Saber alternative that feels unresponsive and shallow, with repetitive level design and frustrating difficulty spikes. A few Korean players enjoy the workout and simple fun, but most find it boring and lacking the addictive quality of the game it copies.
