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 comedic, puzzle-filled time-loop adventure where you explore a small town and interact with quirky characters to break the cycle.

What players say

Players love the story and voice acting, calling it a worthy sequel to the film, but are split on the gameplay. Many complain about the teleport-only movement, repetitive and frustrating mini-games like the graffiti one, and characters who are obnoxious at first. Long-time players say the game has been abandoned with no updates, and Index controller support never came.
