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

You wander a low-poly, whimsically dark town, doing chores for monkey characters while a faintly sinister backstory lurks beneath the cozy surface.

What players say

Players say Banana Town is a joke game with very little to do, lasting under ten minutes. The online multiplayer does not work and the game feels overpriced for what it offers, though a few enjoy its absurd banana theme.
