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 appreciate the unique ghost companion system and the decent voice acting, but agree the game feels dated with clunky puzzles and a 3D engine that adds little. Opinions split on the writing: some find it charming and funny, others call it offensive and childish. The ending leaves many wanting a sequel that never came. Most say to buy only on a steep sale.
