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 are split on whether the game is a nostalgic gem or unplayable junk, but almost everyone agrees it runs poorly on modern hardware. The puzzles are often described as extremely difficult with little direction, and the frequent taunting from Stauf that stops movement frustrates many.
