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 fast-paced action game where shooting and combat are synced to a driving beat, blending violence with rhythm.

What players say

Players praise the fast rhythm-shooter combat and satisfying item synergies, but note the main campaign is unusually short. The trials mode gets special mention for its clever, punishing platforming challenges. A few point out a bug where tile timing doesn't match the music.
