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.

About

Enhanced edition of Pentominon, originally published on Xbox 360 in 2009. A new mode was added: the "Essential Mode" has the same rules as the Colorful, but the players must surround the coloured block with the grey ones in order to increase their scores. This version was developed in 2017 by xisai and published on Xbox One and Windows 10 PCs by AstralSystem.
