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 classic point-and-click adventure with a retro pixel aesthetic and a lighthearted, comedic tone.

What players say

Players are split on this sequel: some enjoy the quirky humor and minigames, but many feel it is a step down from the first game. The biggest complaints are about forced pixel hunting for tiny objects like teeth, and a rushed, unsatisfying ending.
