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 cheerful and silly point-and-click adventure with cartoon worms, full of playful puzzles and light comedic mystery.

What players say

Players praise the humor and story, but many struggle with the slow worm movement. The German voice-over is sped up and the English version has no voice acting and a poor translation.
