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 must move and shoot in time with an epic rock beat, creating a frenetic, punishing, and rhythmically driven combat loop.

What players say

Players praise the music and the way shooting to the beat feels, but many complain about eye-straining colors and a lack of variety in songs per area. Some also note the studio moved on, leaving the game without updates.
