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

Action game, based on the movie starring Mike Myers. The house in which the Cat in the Hat resides has been consumed by magic. Familiar places like a plant pot, the refrigerator, and the attic have been transformed into entire worlds based on the realms created by Dr. Seuss and are infested with baddies creating mayhem. Cat is responsible for rebottling this dispersed magic before the kid's parents come home and find their house amok. Players Jump, dodge, and capture wacky Seussian creatures, including new ones created just for the game, in 20 wacky levels that feature highly animated 3-D environments that capture the topsy-turvy movie world.
