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 lighthearted, emotionally-charged adventure where you explore a strange alien world, make choices, and follow a comedic yet heartfelt story.

What players say

Players praise the mix of platforming and adventure game puzzles, saying the world opens up quickly and quests have multiple solutions. The writing earns consistent praise for its humor and pop culture references, but some find the early dialogue excessive. Controls are called tight and the game is compared favorably to classic side-scrollers and LucasArts titles.
