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.

What players say

Players praise the creative papercraft world and the sheer amount of content for the price, but nearly everyone complains about the awkward camera, clunky controls, and poor AI for both pets and enemies. A few also note the game has been abandoned by its developers.
