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.

A calm, gentle stroll through beautifully detailed environments as you search for hidden items to fix time and save the planet.

What players say

Players praise the package as three games for the price of one, with beautiful, varied environments and a relaxing pace. Some find the winter level frustrating due to janky platforming, and a few report achievement triggers that require replaying levels. The game is short but dense with collectibles.
