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 rhythmic and atmospheric music-driven experience where you lead songs through melodic storytelling.

What players say

Players love the song list but hate the keyboard controls, especially the unpredictable switching between 5k and 7k lanes. The strict judgment frustrates many, and newcomers to multi-track rhythm games struggle. The story and atmosphere are praised, but the game is widely seen as only worth it for fans of the Kamitsubaki franchise, and the base price and DLC are considered too high.
