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

A cheerful, low-stakes adventure through snowy, storybook worlds that feels like a cozy holiday stroll.

What players say

Players are split on this nostalgic collectathon. Fans of classic 3D platformers enjoy the charm and holiday spirit, but many say the $40 price tag is too high for a 3-to-15-hour game. Complaints center on the sluggish camera, slippery controls, and a broken two-player mode.
