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.

About

Noobow is a puzzle platformer featuring a Japanese chocolate mascot. The aim of the game is to pick up objects and use them wherever they're needed in order to stop the sun and rain from fighting each other. After using the objects in the right places they disappear to confirm that players have made the right choice. There are 7 levels in the game and Noobow will always refuse to put his life in danger. Completing each level is done by reaching the goal and assisting the characters that are waiting there.
