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 whimsical adventure through a sketchbook world, blending exploration and combat with a lighthearted, quirky tone.

What players say

Players praise the hand-drawn notebook art style and say the writing is funny. The campaign is short, around 4-6 hours, and features a tough final boss, but a crash bug when backtracking can break the run. The combat and character switching are an improvement over earlier games in the series.
