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 gentle, breezy exploration where you fluidly shift seasons to solve puzzles and uncover secrets at your own pace.

What players say

Players say the sequel improves on the first game with new weather mechanics and a cold timer, but the mouse-and-keyboard port of the original Wii gesture controls is widely criticized as imprecise and frustrating. A few report a story-blocking bug in the cave section.
