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.

About

Puppet shows are among the most enjoyable activities of childhood – and this time a puppet show comes in a fantastic digital version. Theatre Tales gives the ability to play with fairy tale characters presented as puppets, just like the puppets we so enjoyed playing with as children. The game takes us back to the times of childhood, making it not just possible to relieve those days but to enjoy them again with our own children, showing them the magical world of fairly tales and fables.
