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 spin a glowing circle to dodge pulsating shapes that sync to your own music, creating a chill, reactive arcade rhythm.

What players say

Players praise the ability to use their own music from Spotify or YouTube, but many say the game is not truly rhythm-based and the shapes fail to align with the beat. Comparisons to Super Hexagon are common, with critics calling it a rough clone lacking polish while some enjoy it as a free visualizer.
