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 a fast-paced rhythm battle where you tap to classical music with dramatic, over-the-top storytelling.

What players say

Players say this third episode is the weakest in the series: shorter, with less story and fewer characters than the first two games. The scoring feels off-beat, notes are hard to read, and there is no volume control. The changed voice actor for Chopin and the lack of a proper tutorial frustrate newcomers, while long-time fans find the difficulty uneven and the gameplay stale.
