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 lighthearted and witty point-and-click adventure where you solve puzzles in any order, chatting with eccentric cowboys and townsfolk in a playful Wild West setting.

What players say

Players overwhelmingly replay it for childhood nostalgia, especially those who grew up with the Persian or Czech dubs. But newcomers and even some returning players find the fixed camera, awkward controls, forced farming and fishing minigames, and lack of manual save frustrating enough to call it unplayable.
