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 call this a mobile port that was not properly adapted for PC, with clunky controls and no key rebinding. The voice acting is widely panned as unnatural or badly matched to subtitles. The hand-drawn art and storybook style are praised, but the game is short, around three hours. Some puzzles are too hard for some players, and the opera disk puzzle is a common blocking point.
