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

A casual rhythm-meets-survival game where you type arrow combinations to level up skills against waves of enemies, with roguelite upgrades persisting after defeat.

What players say

Players call it a simple rhythm game where you press direction keys then space on beat to level up defenses, with many noting it is easy to 100% achievements in minutes. Some say the key patterns feel fixed and the core loop gets repetitive quickly, while others warn that the difficulty spikes sharply around rank 4.
