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 simple, lighthearted romp of childhood tag brought to life with multiplayer fun, hampered slightly by an oddly fussy control scheme.

About

The Onigokko is based on the child game and features up to 4 human players to play at the same time, 10 different characters (male and female ones) to play with and a really complicated control system.
