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 gleefully mean-spirited puzzle game where you orchestrate escalating pranks on a grumpy neighbor, mixing slapstick comedy with a trashy TV-show aesthetic.

What players say

Players are overwhelmingly nostalgic, calling it a faithful time capsule of childhood pranks. But long-time fans are split: some say the remaster stripped the original's precise combo-timing challenge, making it too easy.
