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 casual, family-friendly point-and-click adventure with a nostalgic retro look and lighthearted humor.

What players say

A short point-and-click adventure that takes one evening and has no saving, which annoys some. Players love the 90s nostalgia, especially for eastern Europe, but find the minigames frustratingly hard. A minority report crashes that make the game unplayable.
