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 laid-back, cartoonish time-management game where you restore a viking kingdom by completing simple tasks across bright, storybook levels.

What players say

Players say it improves on the original with more creative levels and a fuller story, though it is still a straightforward time management game. Some find the later star requirements frustrating, and a few report a progress reset bug.
