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.

What players say

Players praise the core time management formula but are split on new mechanics: bandits that block paths and a guard mechanic frustrate many, while others appreciate the added challenge. The difficulty spikes sharply for three-star ratings, and the Zen mode's exclusion from the bonus level draws criticism. Longtime fans of the series find it more of the same with minor twists.
