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 light, laid-back time-management romp through myth with cute visuals and plenty of cats.

What players say

Players say it is more of the same time management gameplay with little innovation, though the smaller maps and added micro-levels are a welcomed change. Some find it the hardest in the series, while others are split on the boring story and weak ending. It runs well on Linux with Proton.
