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 whimsical and gently-paced adventure through a strange, hand-drawn world, blending oddball humor with laid-back puzzle-solving.

What players say

Players describe it as a charming but shallow narrative adventure with almost no puzzles, just walking and talking. The game is short, around three hours, but a notorious achievement for harvesting 500 pumpkins forces hours of idle grinding in one session, which many reviewers cite as the reason for their negative recommendation.
