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 praise the artwork, voice acting, and story, but many warn that some puzzles demand pixel-perfect clicks and are frustratingly difficult. There is also criticism of poorly designed achievements and hidden object scenes with dark, hard-to-see items. The collecting edition includes a strategy guide to help with tough parts.
