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 gentle, hopeful adventure that lets you take control of a difficult struggle through a child's eyes

What players say

Players praise the heartfelt charity angle and emotional story about fighting cancer, but split on the gameplay: some find it a simple, child-friendly Zelda-like adventure while others point to clunky combat, poor voice acting, and a high price for what they consider short and shallow content.
