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

Gloriously nonsensical Paper Mario retelling where Google Translate mangles every line into surreal comedy gold.

About

Book of Mario is a text-hack of the Paper Mario (Nintendo 64) created by Fatguy703 and his fans. The text within the game is produced by oscillating translations several times (with Google Translate) to change the dialogue, creating a very different plot from the original game. The game also has a new badge added, which was only obtained via hacking.
