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

Swinging through vibrant, otherworldly gardens feels meditative and fluid, with a calming rhythm of exploration and gentle discovery.

What players say

Players love the chill vibe and unique art style, but the PC port has persistent resolution problems that require manual file tweaks to play. The removal of local co-op from the PS3 original disappoints longtime fans, and the time limit and repetitive level structure split opinion.
