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 Beautiful Japanese Scenery. Some find the animated, timelapse-based puzzles cause eye strain and call the flickering videos disgusting, while others enjoy the low difficulty and value at a deep sale price. A common complaint is that 350-piece puzzles become tedious, and a recurring mouse-grabbing bug frustrates players.
