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

A lush, storybook-like world where three heroes solve physics puzzles and fight whimsical enemies at a relaxed, thoughtful pace.

What players say

Players praise the return to the 2D side-scrolling formula of the first two games after Trine 3, with beautiful dreamlike visuals and puzzles that offer multiple solutions. Online co-op is widely reported as broken with frequent disconnects and lag, while local co-op works well. Combat is simple but the puzzles and co-op puzzles are the main draw.
