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 praise the humor and tight platforming, and say the level design is a clear improvement over the first Dadish. Some find the slow movement and a few frustrating levels grating, and one reviewer calls the controls unresponsive. The game is short, often beaten in under two hours.
