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 agree Road Homeward is a short driving adventure, finishing in about 20 to 30 minutes, but they are divided on whether it is charming or a mess. Many say the car frequently gets stuck on terrain, forcing a level restart, and the controls and camera feel unpolished. The Russian voice acting is a recurring point, with some finding it amusing and others hard to understand.
