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.

What players say

Players admire the distinct art style and the shifts between 3D adventure and 2D platforming, but the combat feels clunky and the lack of voice acting is noted. Some technical issues like buggy saves appear, and views on difficulty are split between story and normal mode.
