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 chaotic retro sandbox where you pull off pranks, dodge teachers, and survive a strict school system with quirky, puny challenges.

What players say

Players praise this faithful remake of the old ZX Spectrum games, especially for adding the sequel and a new school. Many say the original keyboard controls were broken, but updates and a remapping option helped. Students unlock characters with unique skills, though some find the new school too easy.
