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 fight to the rhythm of music, each punch and dodge synced to the beat in a high-stakes battle for fame and redemption.

What players say

Players praise the BPM-based combat that makes fighting feel like a groove rather than a strict rhythm game, and they love uploading custom songs. Some say the early access campaign is short with only four story levels, and a few find boss fights repetitive and note timing problems that appeared after the demo.
