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 lighthearted medieval adventure with gentle puzzle city building and a comedic story about helping a reluctant nephew become a knight.

What players say

Long-time fans find this entry more frustrating than fun, with gold medal requirements that feel absurdly tight compared to earlier games. The series remains addictive, but several levels spoil the experience for perfectionists.
