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 gentle, storybook-like point-and-click adventure where curiosity and a warm heart carry you through a whimsical but mildly perilous forest world.

What players say

Players describe Uproot as a short and cute point-and-click adventure with a sweet story and colorful artwork. The puzzles are mostly logical but can be tricky, and an in-game hint system helps. Opinions split on the voice acting, which some find off-putting or AI-sounding, while others find it charming despite the budget feel.
