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 globe-trotting point-and-click adventure filled with cartoony humor and brain-teasing puzzles.

What players say

Players are split on this point-and-click sequel. Some enjoy the absurdity and classic formula, but many others report game-breaking bugs, glitches that block progress, and a severe performance slowdown in chapter 4 that forced them to skip or abandon the game. The story is widely seen as a disjointed mashup of ideas that loses focus, and the puzzle logic is often called unintuitive.
