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.

About

The game starts out with the main protagonist, Davey, arriving at school. Then a bully (Lumpy) takes his pencil. Now all throughout class Davey is daydreaming of being in several different locations revolving around Medieval Times, the Wild West and Ancient Greece and each level contains at the end something Davey must collect that will always resemble the shapes of school items (e.g., a pencil, a ruler or a trophy).
