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

Playing feels like tapping or strumming along to upbeat chiptunes, with a focus on timing and precision.

What players say

Players describe it as a competent Guitar Hero clone with chiptune music. It offers custom song and workshop support, but timing feels unforgiving and there is no true fullscreen mode. Players are split on whether the default keyboard controls are awkward.
